Colorful Trees

One of the things I like about my current house is this tree in the front yard. Anybody care to guess what species of tree we're viewing? I think this is the only time in my life I wish I had access to an Audobon Society Field Guide. The trees here have just peaked at full color, and now the ground is quickly becoming covered in leaves. It smells like fall, despite this weekend's 75 degree weather (which I greatly appreciated). Yesterday afternoon on my jog through the neighborhood I smelled a fire going inside someone's house. I wish my house had a fireplace. Maybe one day.
