Nature Study in the Suburbs
I've noticed two trees out in the front of our townhouse strip that I'd like to identify somehow.
This one looks like a very young pine of some sort.
Right now, it's sprouting off some sort of seed or maybe something that will turn into a pinecone maybe? Or maybe it's just some new growth.
The other one I'm not sure at all.
The leaf color is similar to that of a red maple, but the shape definitely isn't maple. But some of the leaves are more of a green color.
It's also just about finished flowering for the season.
I did some reading in the Trees field guide that we have, but couldn't find a good match. So will do some online research at some point and/or ask our next door neighbor.
Need to find a way to involve the girls in this curiosity. At this point, *I* seem to be the one owning it. Maybe they'll catch the bug at some point. Right now, they're more interested in investigating trash laying on the ground. :-\
