Eliza Waters 
So interesting, Eliza! I’ve never heard of this tree before. I understand it’s the bark that’s striped. At first I thought it should be called a “ghost maple,” because those leaves look white.
Thank you, Audrey. It is an understory tree here, with lovely green and brown vertical stripes on the trunk. It really is striking in fall when it appears quite ghostly, just in time for Samhain!
Paley enchanting.
They are ghosts of the forest, so pale and luminescent.
Is the light making the leave appear lighter, or is the photo true to colour? It’s an unusual colour for a maple, and very beautiful. ❤
Thank you, Joanne. Yes, it is true to color and becomes a very pale yellow that will fade to nearly white before they drop. Quite beautiful!
That sounds lovely! Perhaps as the colour changes, they will be a candidate again for Wordless Wednesday. ❤
Perhaps!
What beautiful light!
Thank you, Cindy. The translucence of its leaves is something to see. 🙂
Lovely!
Thank you, Rupali!

That is a striking image Eliza. Very artistic photo and lovely colours.
Thank you, Cathy!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Judy!
She’s more demure than her cousins 🙂 Beauty!
Yes, she is. A shy beauty!
Indeed 🙂
Lovely and ethereal! We have a striped maple at the arboretum, I should go take a look at it. The buds were pretty in the spring.
Thank you, Barbara. It flutters in a light breeze, graceful as cranes.
Another so-called “weed” tree that, to me, is a fabulous addition to your yard….stripey-green bark on the young trees & beautiful fall foliage color which goes from a bright yellow to that ghostly pale which you have captured beautifully.
Thank you, it is a favorite of mine as well, esp, in the fall when it is so beautiful!
The photo is so interesting with the contrast of the light leaves against the dark bark. I looked up this tree…also called goosefoot maple (& other names), which explains the leaf shape. Sap can be an irritant, like PI. Now I’m wondering if I’ve seen one and thought it was a different tree (sourgum?)
They are small trees and the bark is striped lengthwise in green and brown, quite striking! I’ve not noticed the sap as irritating, but I rarely cut them as I love seeing them in the forest.
…nope, not sourgum!
I’ve never seen a tree with such pale leaves. They combine beautifully with the smaller, darker leaves behind, which I’m thinking might be elm.
The deeper yellow are birch, most likely black birch, which grows in similar conditions. Striped maple leaves will fade to nearly white before dropping, their beauty will stop me in my tracks!
So pale and pretty, almost ghostly. Perfect for the season.
Thank you, Laurie. As an understory tree, they do seem like forest ghosts this time of year. 🙂
It reminds me of all the yellow leaves I saw when living in CT.
I love the luminosity of yellow leaves!
A lovely capture. 😊👍
Thank you, Pepper!
The pale color of the leaves contrast very well with the dark trunks in the background. This tree is said to change its sex with time, naturally.
Interesting, I didn’t know that! Thanks, Hien!
It looks like a painting, Eliza! Well done with the photo.
Thank you, Kris!
What a lovely pattern they make
Thank you, Karina, they become paler by the day, a beautiful thing to behold.
Seriously? I’ve never heard of such a tree, Eliza. The pale leaves provide such a lovely contrast to the dark-colored bark of the trees.
Yes, an Eastern native tree, its fall color becomes ghostly pale, quite lovely and translucent.
It’s lovely! I haven’t seen many.
Thanks, Belinda! Maybe it is an Eastern woodland plant? Not sure of its range, but they seem to like moister areas.
I like this.
Thanks, Gary!
Unusual colours for an autumn shot. Gorgeous!
Thank you, Allison!
Beautiful and unusual. I like the paleness of the leaves. 🙂
Thank you, Robin. The effect in the forest is ghostly, quite lovely.
This is stunning and ought to be framed!
Thank you so much, Michelle!
I can imagine it being very eerie at dusk. The leaves make a lovely combination with the yellow and green.
Thank you, Susan. It is rather ethereal!
I don’t believe I’ve seen/heard of this tree as well! Such a dainty pale yellow, pretty!
Thank you, Donna. I guess it may be just a northeast native. Very showy in the fall!
Lovely, Eliza! I love the bark on a young tree as well. Easily recognized.
Thanks, Steve!
Nice contrast in this shot between the light leaves and the dark trunks! I like seeing the more subdued color here.
Thank you, Denise! It is lovely to see this one light up a dark forest.
How lovely and such an interesting contrast to the rich colour in your previous photo ‘Blazing’.
Thank you, Linda. The Acer genus has a lot of variety.
Oops! I meant Carol!
