Not to worry, J. Maples are good for doing this, especially the Bloodgood variety shown in the first pic. If the wind don't get them the heat and sun will. It's just something you'll have to learn to live with. Enjoy them in the early Spring before it gets too hot. Try to give them as much shade as possible in the heat of the day. Here's a pic of mine that I've been working on for 13yrs. now and it does the same thing yours does. It won't hurt the tree at all except appearence wise.
