Becca at “On Dragonfly Wings with Buttercup Tea” hosts Sunday Trees each week. This was taken a few years ago with my iPhone5 in March in Winter Park, Florida. I have no idea what kind of tree this is!

LIVING WITH MY ANCESTORS 
Great tee. I like how the branches are connected.
I should have taken more pictures from different angles but I didn’t. Oh, well. It was very unusual and I have no idea what kind it was. 🙂
It’s different and interesting

That’s one of your Florida trees, darlin! Downtown Winter Park! 😉
Looks like it has buds too. Isn’t spring amazing.
Have a fabulous day. ♥
Just springing to life! Pun intended! LOL! Have a fantastic week! 😀
My ash does a similar type budding when Spring is approaching! Thank you for sharing!
Do you think this is an ash tree? I’m afraid I just don’t know my plants or trees!
Looks like a wonderful tree to climb and watch the world pass!
I hadn’t thought of that but it would be fun to be up there watching all the downtown shoppers pass by! LOL!
Striking tree for the challenge,I particularly like the trunk and branch shapes.Am I the only one seeing a cross dominating and stealing the scene? !!! Hugs & blessings,dear Linda 🙂 xxx
Well, open up my eyes! I do see it! Bless you for pointing that out to me! Makes it even better! Hugs and blessings to you, too, my friend! 😀 ❤
We usually say that we see what we want to see,but here,it was obvious,Blessings to you too,dear Linda 🙂 ❤ xxx
Hard to tell since the tree seems to be budding, with no leaf, or full flowers, it looks like a tropical tree, like a Ceiba, or a Fire tree?
You might be absolutely right! I have no idea what kind of tree this is other than it was in Florida! 😉
wow – sounds like you know your trees – and I enjoyed this comment
I should look up those trees. I just never learned the names of plants or trees!
I have some down – but I think that folks who know a lot – well they have clues they use like folks identify birds –
like in the comment above – she noted the leaves would have helped her.
Basic tree identification tips
Look at the leaves or needles. Is it a broadleaf (usually deciduous) or is it a conifer (usually with needles or scales)?
Different features will be present through the seasons. You can use twigs, leaf buds and bark on leafless winter broadleaf trees.
Take notice of the surrounding area such as hedgerows, fields, parks, woodland or close to water. Some species are more likely to grow near water, in scrubland, parkland or in woodland.
Use as many features as you can, the more you use the more certain your identification will be. Take into account the overall shape and size of the tree, bark, leaves or needles, flowers, fruits, leaf buds and twigs.
Shape, size and bark are often the most memorable features of a tree.
Overall appearance, size and shape
Some trees have a distinctive overall appearance and shape that can be used to identify them, especially from a distance. Compare a silver birch with its narrow shape and light and airy crown to the broadly spreading crown of an oak.
here is the link – we can learn together
(or just ask your other readers – like Jude and the lady above)

Love the strong trunk to the right, Linda – this feels like I could hang art paintings around this tree – or it just seems ready to be used by a human.
Nice upview
Say, now, artwork would be an interesting display hanging from those limbs! Wonder if they do anything like that on different holidays. You’d appreciate that it’s downtown Winter Park!
oh now you are getting super creative Linda.
I could see art being propped on them too – maybe even a mobile.
?
and winter park would be the place for sure

I see a giant stick man jumping down on me with outstretched arms. 🙂 That’s just me I suppose.
Heehee! Now that you’ve said it, I can see it! 😆
