I don’t think I’ve ever walked past this tree and not been tempted to take at least one picture of it...

And the set is complete! I've now made a version of this shawl for each season, and the spring bulbs were even up in time for the pictures

Acer macrophyllum (big leaf maple)
Big leaf maple is native to the west coast of North America and, true to it's name, it has the largest leaves of any maple tree, sometimes 60cm (two feet) across. The flowers are hermaphroditic (bisexual) bearing both male and female flower parts on each raceme. The female flower emerges first (see photo one) and the male stamens come later. This avoids self-pollination.
Big leaf maples are big trees. Some are a hundred feet tall (30m) with an equally wide canopy and they can live to be 150 years old. We planted a baby sapling in our back yard a few years ago but it won't start producing its typically maple 'whirligig' seeds until it's about ten years old.

Hi! It is me, Imp, and I haz some of my yard to show you that it is Fall. It is called Fall acuz your yard falls on your head if you are not careful. This yard did not fall on my head, I am too quick and I pay attention. I am just a demonstrator of what can happen if you are not quick like me. Mom sticked this yard on me.
Now I just haz to wait for Mom to take it back off. Mom???

View from the gate this morning. As the cherry blossoms fade the Norway maples have begun to bloom in their distinctive greenish yellow, the essence of spring. The second picture is the maple just right of middle in the first but from the other side.
