Title: For Mel
Post by PollyPocket on Nov 6^th, 2008 at 2:40pm

Mel, I've watched this tree for weeks, waiting for the perfect day to take this pic. This was THE week, but its been rainy all week and today windy, so I had to take it before the wind blew all the leaves off.

Every time I see it, I think of that beautiful sunset sky you got as a birthday present and how you might like this too.

The placement of that fire hydrant right in front, tickles me for some reason. Like just in case that beautiful catches on fire. LOL

It is quite a distance, but to me it looks like a maple tree.

Not sure the type. Possibly a sugar maple, but I could be wrong. Too far away, and I can't see the exact shape of the leaves, nor the bark, on the tree trunk.

As a kid in the early 1950's I grew up in CT, but that was a long time ago. My brain said maple when I saw it, but who knows where that came from! ;D

Let's just say that we didn't have trees that looked like that at the beach in CA.

Chuck,

I'll back you. I believe that it is indeed a Maple tree. In fact, I have heard them referred to as Sunset Maples. We have a lot of them around here. They have been beautiful this year!

awwhell I dunno what kind it is!!!

I just call it The Tree and watch it change each fall. Its out the back door of our stockroom and its a nice "break" when I get stressed at work :)

On the far side of that tree, and the pines behind it, is a lake that I've sneaked away from work and gone fishing at. (not to worry, it was the boss's idea! lol)

ohforpetesake, they are maple trees!! lol

I think Jen's is a Sugar Maple and Jonny's is a Norway Maple.

You ever look at the word maple? What a weird word, it's just spelled funky. :-/
