Beautiful leaves to I.D.

[Leigh Robinson]

Hi,

I have found these beautiful leaves growing in the woods but I cant I.D. Them. I am pretty sure they are something obvious once someone tells me. My only guess is some sort of maple? I want to put a label to them so I can record and I.D. them in the future.

Excellent. I will go with that. I went through my books and it all pointed to maple but didn't know for sure. Excellent and speedy response. Record times!

Thank you very much!
