That tree



The maple tree at the corner of State and Swan is always a marvel.  Here's a long view looking down Swan.  Taken 25 October.

Vale


The yellow leaves on the young maple tree spoke to me.  What will this look like in 20 years, when that tree is fully grown?

Officially called the Old County Plot, many victims of the 1918 influenza epidemic are buried here.  On the other side of the fence is St John's cemetery.

Catalpa flowers

Catalpa trees seem like the last ones to get leaves, the last to get flowers and the first to lose their leaves.  The USDA has a write-up for those interested; I knew these as 'bean trees' when I was a boy.  It's late June, and the local catalpas are in bloom.  I was thinking of cropping this, but I sort of like the context.  On the left are sumacs (considered a pest in the city), in the middle are the catalpas and on the right are maple trees.  My guess is that only the maples were intentionally planted.  Something I learnt while researching this tree: catalpa is a mis-transcription of the original First Nation word catawba.

Maple seeds

Maple trees flower early and produce seeds quickly. The seeds are carried in wings that every child here has thrown up to watch spin slowly to the ground. They come in all sizes ad colours, and it turns out, they're edible after cooking!

Maple leaves

Someone told me that each tree has its own distinctive colour scheme; colours that are always there but only become visible in the autumn, after the chlorophyll dies off. Most of the maple trees in this area are generally a blend of yellow and red. This tree is a surprisingly uniform yellow. I don't see many of these.
