I popped out for a quick walk around the Duck Pond and Upper Duck Pond in Milford today to see if the fall colors were coming out, and the colors are starting to come out nicely, I took a few shots of different spots which I have yet to edit so those will be for future post when time permits.
For this post I will focus on one this tree which I think is a Canadian Maple but I could be wrong.

This is the same tree from a different angle, and now is a good chance to explain why it has a special meaning to the lady I know on Facebook, and why I make a point of getting shots of it when I visit this spot for photos.
This Tree used to be in the front yard of her Mothers house and her mother was very proud of the tree, when her mother passed and the property was to be sold, they petitioned the City to have this tree be relocated to the grass are but the upper duck pond where her mother enjoyed walking.
The city agreed and here is the tree doing well year after year in its new home.

And here is another shot of it from another angle, it may not be the most colorful tree in this area, but knowing its history and significance to the family it is important to me to.

What a great story @tattoodjay! And yes, it appears to be a Canadian Maple; their Fall colors are beautiful. That's so nice of you to take photos for your friend as well; what a beautiful memorial!
There a tree in Ontario, Canada, (Niagara Falls area) called the Comfort Maple, named after the Comfort Family who were 'famous' in the area. It's apparently 500 years old; We were there a few years ago. Check this out:
And that's me being goofy, but just to show you the sheer size of it!
Hope your friend's mom's tree stays there that long :)
WOW that one is huge, I visited Niagara falls, but I never saw this one
It's about 20 minutes outside of Niagara Falls :) Glad you enjoyed it.
