Red Maple "Flowers"

One of the harbingers of spring is the "flowering" of the red maple trees. With their deep red color the trees almost put on a show.

We have three red maples trees in the front yard in a grouping of three trees. There is also small volunteer in the back which I expect is from a seed from one of the trees out front. This sapling has come up in a good spot and I intend it let it grow.
