Maples

Maples have long life spans Most are deciduous Makes great stringed instruments Many have bright fall hues Marked by crimson and gold Much loved by bird species Marvelous bell shaped blooms

Maples, as you state, are a wonder of nature. They give good shade in summer. This is a worthy tribute to this tree.

Hello Joe, I love maples, and one is in my yard. Being guitarists, I know they make great instruments. I also loved your use of M words. Autumn Blessings, MY Friend, Daniel
