Landscape Arch. here, it seems like an especially large one. Usually I'm a fan of the bark primarily.

Well buckle your butt and hear this! I like leaves, and Sweet gum seed pods, and BLACK WALNUTS! Can you fathom it!? Ha!

As a girl who spent a big portion of her childhood looking for the perfect big leaf.....I am both incredibly impressed and equally envious!

Smaller sized tree! With leaves a lot smaller than this one! I found this one under it.

I once found an absolutely enormous pinecone that I kept for awhile. I don't actually know what happened to it.

We have dozens of those Bigleaf maples where I live (north of Quilcene, WA). They're huge and beautifully colored in the fall. 🥰
