Ever since you've been my ace of hearts
Hit me like a freight train in the dark
Come on baby take me far away
I wanna get so lost in the great escape
"Such a hand is said to have been held by Old West folk hero, lawman, and gunfighter Wild Bill Hickok when he was murdered. No contemporaneous source records this hand's exact cards, but Frank Wilstach's 1926 book Wild Bill Hickok: The Prince of Pistoleers led to the popular modern conception of the "dead man's hand" as containing pairs of black aces and black eights. In Hickok's case these would have been combined with an unknown hole card."
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.

Acer pseudoplatanus, known as the Sycamore in the United Kingdom and the Sycamore Maple in the United States.
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
We planted these 2 magnificent acers (maples) about 14 years ago... They are now sky high and look so wonderful in the Spring sunshine. My absolute favourite trees ❤
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!

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 .
