Leafy

The crabapple leaves have been out for a month, and other leaves have been emerging for a few weeks, but mostly, trees have had baby leaves.  Today I noticed some trees that were really looking leafy, as if they might even provide some shade.

This is a Norway maple to the north of Amos Eaton.  Some other Norway maples are not this far along yet.


And this is the sycamore maple north of Amos Eaton.  The sycamore maple on the hill is nowhere near this far along.  You would think that the trees to the north side of a building would be less far along than those in an open field, but such is not the case.


And here are two photos of the horsechestnut behind Amos Eaton.
