@ninnymary. It sure lis a distinctive red. I bet if you take a small stem and or picture to a nursery they can ID it for you. It reminds me of ‘Bloodgood’ acer palmatum. Very distinctive in the garden.

I have a small collection of dwarf , intermediate , snake bark and trident maples. They are all quite showy in fall and lovely color and texture during the growing season.

I wanted to post a picture in one of the 2 Fall Colors threads but missed my chance. Like @flowerbug says, the only trees around with some leaves on them are some bedraggled brown oaks. Maples dropped leaves before November!

There is a pretty ginkgo in a park several miles away that fills the landscape with bright yellow leaves. It requires an uphill walk and that requires some  mental preparation. Too late. Our little, un-photogenic backyard ginkgo dropped  all of its leaves and stood bare and naked before we were ready to visit its big cousin.

When Shades' first posted this thread, I drove on N & S side of a nearby park with HUGE sycamore trees. Not especially colorful but the expansive exposed bark is pretty. The sunlight was absolutely terrible and I was in something of a hurry and couldn't figure out where the heck I needed to be to take a shot. Anyway, that's my excuse and I am sticking with it.

So here, parked in my lazyboy in early morning darkness, my contribution:

Thinking, where should I have gone for a hillside of tamarack and Douglas fir? @Alasgun should start this colors thread in Fall, 2024!
