oh, yes...I had song lyrics dancing in my head for titles, but driving by two of these trees fascinated me...rooted me. I've lived with maple trees for a long time but this one and her sister were show stoppers and a completely new sight for me. As we approached to take the pic, the older woman who occupied the house came out and was so happy that a photo was being taken of her "babies". She evidently has been assiduously trimming the all green leaves that come out on these during the spring for years so that this most unusual-looking leaf will predominant with the fresh, new leaves...It was beautiful..wish you could have been there to share the moment. Taken in N. Haverhill, NH..I should send her a pic ......
