Amonroe , I agree, but it always helps if we know where the photo is taken. I know security is always an issue, but it helps to know where a plant is. This is an international forum...If you don't want to say this is in your yard, you can always say growing in...whatever. And welcome to ATP!
I agree with Carol that many people don't want to list where they actually live but knowing the city, state or country where the plant happens to be growing, helps to give a more correct identification.

If it was a maple the leaves would be opposite on the stem (in pairs) but they are single and alternating, it appears from the pictures, which would rule out maple and rule in Liquidamber.
