Red Tipped Leaves?

On a recent adventure up the hill I came across these leaves that had some how turned a color of bright red, strangely from the tips up.

I found these images today again and am still very curious as to what might have caused this vivid discoloration or if it simply happens naturally.

If you have any thoughts, please feel free to post them below…
