I don't know what kind of tree this is but it's leaves change color into this unique and vibrant neon pink. Last year around this time the leaves also had snow on them, which made me think of some kind of dessert.

I didn't tweak the colors or anything this is how they look like in person.

Here is my idea of an unsuitable bokeh - but then - I have a zillion shots of pretty new fern fronds unfurling with lovely smooth bokeh - this one is kind of fun for a change and still completely natural!!
I've been following the bokeh discussion on and off. Was there a conclusion? I find yours an interesting comment - that the bokeh in this photo is unsuitable. Unsuitability implies intent, doesn't it? I am at work, so can't post right now, but I have a couple of photos made with the same lens (Tair 2.8/135). One has a pretty much monotone green background - great for presenting the pink bougainvillea flower that you can see on the photo. The other has bubbles - not so great for presenting the hosta flower, but great for presenting something else - the bubbles created by reflections off the lake present (to me) the memory of a beautiful summer day. I look at the first photo and I see a nice bougainvillea. I look at the second and remember a beautiful day. In that limited comparison, the busy bokeh is unsuitable for presenting the hosta, but suitable for presenting something else...

To me, it looks like the leaves of a burning bush. We have those planted around the house.

Very nice colors btw.

Yes I can see that - like they're scorching hot.

Do you know what the tree is called? This one is in the neighbor's yard so I may ask next time I see him.

Ours is actually called Burning Bush, but looks like the same leaf and color as the picture you took. Probably best to ask the neighbors.

Euonymus alatus - Wikipedia
