Aces for Bases (Post 1 - Award 2)

I'm very fortunate to have this tree at my place of work, especially at this time of year. I don't like the cold, nor the short days, but this tree reminds me to keep looking for the positives in every season of life.
we have a few acer trees in the garden and every year I feel compelled to capture their beauty in a photograph, especially early spring and autumn :)
I'm not a great Motorhead fan. But one of my favourite bands, Del Amitri always performed a cover of this song in their live show.

Hopefully new album out this year. Rock On! Up The DELS!
At RHS Wisley there is an avenue of Bonsai. This one is over 70 years old yet stands less than a metre tall. Perfect in its Autumn colours.
On the afternoon of June 25, 2016, an eastbound BNSF coal train snakes along the Missouri River through Lombard Canyon between Toston and Lombard, Montana. Three “elephant-style” EMD SD70ACes are up front, followed by a single ACe pushing on the rear. Below the DPU in the background is Toston Dam.
A beautiful acer tree and a delightful blue sky.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :)
Acer platanoides.
The flowers are in corymbs of 15–30 together, yellow to yellow-green with five sepals and five petals 3–4 mm (0–1⁄4 in) long; flowering occurs in early spring before the new leaves emerge.
Norway maple is a deciduous broadleaf tree and can grow to 25m. The bark is grey with fine ridges, and the twigs are slender and brown with tiny white spots.
Цветки душистые, голые, яркие, желтовато-зелёные, собраны в щиток из 15—30, появляются в первой половине мая до и во время распускания листьев. Клён остролистный — двудомное растение, то есть мужские и женские цветки обычно распускаются на разных деревьях. Опыляется насекомыми.
I didn't mean to post both these, but I really cant decide which version I prefer - can you help me please?

Acers are one of my favourite trees. They have so much interest from the shape of the leaves to the wonderful changes colours through the seasons. I captured these ones during Spring as they were on the turn to their Summer colour

It is that time of the year that the Acer having sat in the corner between the house and the fence turns it's leaves from green to a bright orange /red before throwing them all on the floor !!
Acer Palmatum or Japanese Maple is sometimes described as a tree and sometimes as a shrub/plant - to me they are small trees albeit ones like this a semi Bonsai Tree . This one may be in a pot but it has a place in the garden ( but not where the photo is taken ) . I have always liked to see Bonsai Trees , but their care can be challenging which is why I tried collecting Cacti & Succulents instead for quite a few years .
I had a few backlit images ready to choose from for Smile on Saturday, including this shot of our acer in the garden.
When I checked the challenge, I found that the subject had to be white!
So here is one of my non-entries for Smile on Saturday this week - maybe you are smiling!
