Interesting red leaves in #5

Armando, thank you for the interest.

I like #3 (dogwood?) and the peculiar #9.

Interesting red leaves in #5

That tree (maple?) can be commonly seen in Japan.  Actually there is one right next to my place.

[Bjørn Rørslett]

The sedge filling the foreground in #2 most likely is Carex acutiformis.

No wonder the Maple is commonly seen in your country, Akira; it is Acer japonicum or a close relative.

#9 is Paris quadrifolia. It is poisonous.

Bjørn, thanks for the identification.

I'm pretty familiar with the genus Acer, not only it is commonly seen in Japan, but also it is one of the most popular materials for the musical string instruments.
