Quick, other than the amazing color, what do you notice about this maple?
See the glimpse of asphalt through the leaves on the ground? This tree is in the middle of a driveway! This isn’t a very good angle, so you can’t really see that it’s in the middle of the driveway, but, trust me, it is. And that’s what I totally love about this maple. The owners didn’t chop it down when it became apparent that it was overtaking their driveway. No, they just drive around it.
You can glimpse the little house behind the tree. The roofline of the house is hidden under the first row of leaves on the right. That gives you some idea how huge this maple tree is.
