"I'm Not Bad...Am I?"

I photographed this beautiful densely-leafed tree that was overhanging the river in a heavily-shaded woods. I guess that's why this tree is banned in some States. It's not supposed to be growing in the "wild."

 

I've always admired the Norway Maple trees (Acer platanoides) planted along roadways. Some species have dark green leaves; others have dark burgundy colored leaves, and they are relatively disease-resistant. They were introduced as landscape ornamental trees over 100 years ago. Now, they are displacing native species in some areas.
