I Think It's an Elm
Here's one I collected a year ago from a friend's cow pasture in early spring. Leaves look like elm. It had interesting lichens on it-not sure if that's good or bad, but I like them.
Since this picture was taken, it's put out lots of leaves and a few more secondary (?) branches. I'll try to get another picture... |

Lichens won't harm the tree. They are not parasites, they just use the tree as a substrate to hang on to.

Maybe it's Not an Elm?
Another bad quality of photo. Mebbe this isn't an elm after all-bark's too light?
I am using a cheap 35 mm camera. Santa, won't cha buy me a mercedes benz (or a digital camera) |

Absent a camera, if you have a document scanner, you could drop a couple leaves on it and probably come up with something useful for identification purposes.. I can't speculate on this one, but the focus was pretty darn good in the first photo you posted above, though, but there weren't many leaves then.
Good luck! Matt

Greg; I have a fair quality 35 mm but it doesn't have any way to adjust the shutter speed. I've been having it put on cd at wal mart... |
