From Wikipedia:
A leaf is usually green because of the presence of a pigment known as chlorophyll, which is inside an organelle called a chloroplast. When abundant in the leaf's cells, as during the growing season, the chlorophyll's green color dominates and masks out the colors of any other pigments that may be present in the leaf.
In late summer, as daylight hours shorten and temperatures cool, the veins that carry fluids into and out of the leaf are gradually closed off as a layer of special cork cells forms at the base of each leaf. As this cork layer develops, water and mineral intake into the leaf is reduced, slowly at first, and then more rapidly. During this time, the chlorophyll begins to decrease and the other colors start to show. Often, the veins are still green after the tissues between them have almost completely changed color.

This picture was captured in my back yard. I manually held a fallen leaf against the chosen background and shot it. Notice the remnants of chlorophyll dots on the leaf.
Thanks to all of you who fave and comment on the photograph.
