Spring is trying to come early to northeast Louisiana as that nice green grass does a good job of brightening up the scene on a February morning. Certainly didn't come all this way to shoot NS power, but for one grab shot before moving onto more interesting targets guess an Ace isn't the worst leader.
The album Ace of Spades was released in 1980 by British band Motörhead, with the title track becoming one of their biggest hits.
Motörhead was singer/bass player Lemmy Kilmister, guitar player "Fast" Eddie Clarke and drummer Phil "Filthy Animal" Taylor. The band underwent many variations over the years with Lemmy being the only consistent member until his death from prostate cancer at age 70, three days after Christmas in 2015.
A giant Lemmy points out from the picture above.
I was never a huge Motörhead fan although I did like this particular album.

Acer palmatum, called Japanese Maple or Smooth Japanese Maple (Japanese: irohamomiji, イロハモミジ, or momiji, 紅葉) is a species of woody plant native to Japan, North Korea, South Korea, China, eastern Mongolia, and southeast Russia. Many different cultivars of this maple have been selected and they are grown worldwide for their attractive leaf shapes and colours.
Acer palmatum is a deciduous shrub or small tree reaching heights of 6 to 10 m (20 to 33 ft), rarely 16 metres (52 ft), often growing as an understory plant in shady woodlands. It may have multiple trunks joining close to the ground. In habit, it is often shaped like a hemisphere (especially when younger) or takes on a dome-like form, especially when mature. The leaves are 4–12 cm long and wide, palmately lobed with five, seven, or nine acutely pointed lobes. The flowers are produced in small cymes, the individual flowers with five red or purple sepals and five whitish petals. The fruit is a pair of winged samaras, each samara 2–3 cm long with a 6–8 mm seed. The seeds of Japanese maple and similar species require stratification in order to germinate.
Even in nature, Acer palmatum displays considerable genetic variation, with seedlings from the same parent tree typically showing differences in such traits as leaf size, shape, and colour.
Japanese Maple has been cultivated in Japan for centuries and in temperate areas around the world since the 1800s.[3] The first specimen of the tree reached England in 1820.
When Swedish doctor-botanist Carl Peter Thunberg traveled in Japan late in the eighteenth century, he secreted out drawings of a small tree that would eventually become synonymous with the high art of oriental gardens.[5] He gave it the species name palmatum after the hand-like shape of its leaves, similar to the centuries old Japanese names kaede and momiji, references to the 'hands' of frogs[6] and babies,[citation needed] respectively.
For centuries Japanese horticulturalists have developed cultivars from maples found in Japan and nearby Korea and China. They are a popular choice for bonsai enthusiasts and have long been a subject in art.
Numerous cultivars are currently available commercially and are a popular item at garden centres and other retail stores in Europe and North America. Red-leafed cultivars are the most popular, followed by cascading green shrubs with deeply dissected leaves.
Preparations from the branches and leaves are used as a treatment in traditional Chinese medicine.

This is probably the best Acer Palmatum I've ever seen. Sadly the light was quite flat, so the colour here doesn't do it justice. I'll need to go back on a better day.
"So, what does the buyer want with these Tauntauns?"
"Dude, you don't wanna know."
"So, how are we going to fit them into the 'Ace of Spades'?"
"Dude, you REALLY don't wanna know."
