This tree was planted right next to the parking lot, and I like the form. With the help of my flickr friends, the tentative ID is a sycamore tree. Any ID confirmation of correction would be appreciated.
I absolutely love trees. The simple fact that they live longer than humans (if they are let) and they are way more complex than we generally give them credit for. Scientists have discovered that trees communicate with each other through a gigantic network of microscopic fungi (called mycelial network) that enables them to exchange information with each other such as warnings, storing memories and responding to attacks. Also the trees and the fungi form a symbiotic relationship where they exchange resources such as organic matter and minerals. I think that is amazing and while I always loved trees, this understanding enhances my respect and admiration for them.

It is native to South Central and Southwest China. The leaves are mostly 10–20 cm long and 7–15 cm wide and are ovate to heart-shaped. Davidia involucrata is best known for its inflorescence that features white bracts surrounding a purplish-red flower head. Each flower head with a pair of large (12–25 cm), pure white bracts at the base performing the function of petals. On a breezy day, the bracts flutter in the wind like white doves or pinched handkerchiefs, hence the English names for this tree.

Yes even though it's already mid-May, those white stuff was snow and ice along the shoreline!
……Trees have something to admire in every season as far as I’m concerned, this view up the River Severn is from the Kingsland Toll bridge in Shrewsbury. Taken on my phone in Apple RAW and edited in Lightroom. Alan:-)…….

We hiked a couple miles down into the Grand Canyon on the Grandview Trail. Many lovely trees along that trail. It was originally constructed by miners to connect the rim with copper mines. The trail is narrow and steep with a drop off on one side.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
