With Nick and Judy, Gareth and Nancy, we celebrated Dad’s birthday on what was coincidentally Memorial Day Weekend. Dad and I had a walk in Duff Park one day and Beaver Run the next, where we noticed an exceptionally large tulip poplar tree. Didn’t take many pictures this weekend, and only saved these six:

We have so many tall oaks we sometimes think all our tall trees are oaks. But among our treetops at this time of year, the tulip poplars are easy to spot. My wild guess is that this one may be 50 or 60 feet tall. The Liriodendron tulipifera is described in a Wikipedia article.
