Their maple-shaped green, yellow, orange, red and deep purple leaves caught my eye. These are liquidambar styraciflua or American sweetgum.
Autumn leaves are usually red, yellow OR orange, but these star-shaped leaves turn yellow, orange, red, AND purple as you can see in these photos.
A week ago, I wrote about the beautiful yellow and green leaves of platanus x acerifolia (London plane), but sweetgum leaves are more gorgeous as they have red and purple ones.
Sweetgum leaves are like larger maple leaves, but the tree isn't in the Acer (i.e., maple) genus but in the Liquidambar genus.

色とりどりの紅葉に目を奪われました。紅葉葉楓(モミジバフウ)です。紅葉(こうよう)って普通、黄、橙または赤だと思うのですが、モミジバフウは一本で黄、橙、赤、紫まで楽しめます。形も可愛いし♬ 1週間ほど前にこれまた美しい紅葉葉鈴懸の木(モミジハスズカケノキ)についても書いたのですが、紅葉葉楓は色が多いせいか、もっと豪華な感じです。
モミジに似ていますがモミジやカエデの仲間ではなく、フウ科フウ属(モミジはムクロジ科カエデ属)だそうです。
