American Sycamore, American Planetree, Platanus Occidentalis, Occidental Planetree, Buttonwood Tree, what ever name you choose to call them, these are very photogenic trees! This one happens to be on the Village Green in New Milford, CT. Old Sycamore's are common sights here, and they can live to be 400 to 600 years old!
Hi, Andrea. Wow, what interesting bark. You don't see Sycamore used for furniture making or construction....is it a soft wood, I wonder?
Hi Andrea, Great shot and beautiful photo, thanks for sharing. Have a great Sunday!
We call them Buttonwood Trees where I am from! Great photo. Thanks for sharing it with us this morning.
Good Morning my friend-Love the fall colors in both of your posts. Hope you are doing well. I miss ya. I have been working a full time job in addition to my VA job so I haven't been in the rain much. I did a post about it on Thursday. I probably will have the extra job thru the end of Oct. Have a great Sunday my friend. <SMILE>
Nice photo, Andrea! We are starting to see a few colored leaves in these parts!
Interesting photo angle, looking up the trunk. If not for the width it could also be a sick white birch.
Andrea another great shot. In a few more weeks everything will be so colorful.
And they say old as dirt Andrea? They obviously don't know about your trees!
Terrific shot, Andrea! I love shooting "up" trees. Took a similar one of an aspen today!

Andrea that is a beautiful shot, you are getting to be very good with that camera.
Great perspective on this photo Andrea.
Wonderful colors too!
Keep shooting my friend!
Hi Andrea, I love this photo - wanted to come over and congratulate you on winning the Nature & Marketing Contest!! Fabulous job, Andrea, and I loved reading the story about your dog cow !
Hello Yvette & Dennis, thank you so much! Fall is here!
Leslie, thank you! Actually I just did a quick google, and it is used in furniture and flooring, how about that. Who knew?
Gary, I hope you have a wonderful week. Thank you so much.
Hi Dick & Dixie, whatever they are called, they are very interesting!
Sharon, I read your post, you are a busy beaver! Thank you, and I hope you have a wonderful week!
Pat, isn't that amazing? We have some old ones here, and I never realized what they are. This winter will give me good shots of them. Thank you!
Diane, you are very welcome, they are indeed very interesting trees. They make for good photos!
Hello Michael, I love the bark, I stared at it for a while, then ran and got my camera!
Kent, I love my camera. I got this Pentax because I take a lot of snow photos, and it is weather proof. Thank you!
Hi Pat, thank you! I just love fall, it is such good camera time!
Ed, a sick white birch, LOL that was funny! Thank you!
Jennifer, yes indeed, we will be picture taking fools here soon enough. Thanks!
Al & Peggy, LOL, they do get old. I will share photos of the older ones this winter, they are cool looking!
Debi, it is an interesting perspective for some trees. Thank you!
George, I just love taking pictures, thank you!
Craig, fall is my favorite, thank you! I can't get enough good weather to take pictures, but I will do my best!
Mary, you are so sweet, thank you! I really do miss my Patsy, so this was extra special to me. I was blown away actually.
The cities plant a lot of sycamores out here, but according to my marketing guru, they need more water than what they get out here, which is why they never look very good.
