Description
A street tree in Chicago.
I'm so used to the trees that grace our streets here, I don't give them a second thought. We have maple and cherry, maple, maple and maple, maple and cherry. Perhaps the occasional flowering plum, just for variety. Did I mention maple? We have a lot of those, as well as a few maples.
In Chicago they have such a wide variety of trees on the street! My head was on a swivel, trying to look at everything all at once. I have no idea what sort of tree this is, but trust me when I tell you it isn't a maple. I know!

NEAT SHOT Great POV
Very nice view.
Nice shot! I've seen all types of fir trees, maple trees, some oak and ash, not to mention the darn cottonwood and the fir trees, and the chestnut trees and the fir trees and the maple trees and of course the fir trees and for variety we have some fir trees
Great shot!
those trees have branches everywhere
Great capture Tara...reminds me of the big elm trees.
Neat composition and color. If there was a blacksmith shop under it, I'd guess it was chestnut. Or if it were here in Colorado, I'd guess cottonwood. But I don't know. What I do know is that feeling, though. Trees can have so much personality.
Spam, spam, spam, eggs and spam. This is a beautiful tree whatever it is. We have mostly palm trees here in southern California and all they do is drop fronds on your car.
Shade LOL. I have no idea , but Dave probability will when he gets here. Nice shot.
excellent tree photo!!!
beautiful shot!!!
hahahaha you dont have enough Maples .. you need more ! ... this is a fantastic tree and shot !
That is one of my favorite sites to see, a tree with branches reaching out in all directions. Absolutely fantastic shot!
Maple trees eh? Interesting! :| What a wonderful tree and image Tara. It reminds me of the old oak tree I captured last Saturday at the Johannesburg Country Club! I took a very similar shot!! Great minds do think alike!!! :)
It looks like its doing its job, looking good and giving some welcome shade. nice shot.
I can only tell you, it is not a maple tree ;-) But beautiful it is.
Lovely umbrella!
Trees and their branches follow a fractal pattern that is the same as our arteries and veins. Looking at the resultant twisting, turning equation illustrates how smart mother nature is at mathamatics. You have captured a fundamental formula at its visual best.
thanks for the smile trees do help us "To branch out" and learn wonderful capture, Tara May warm hugs and love, Linda Kaye
Great shot.
Worth a second view, great shot!
Thought it was a new apartment store from the title... Cheers, Clive
