I agree...Sycamore seeds are round balls that are fuzzy looking when dry
Each cloud has a silver lineing if only you look for it.

I agree, some kind of maple but not sure which (sycamore in the UK is Acer pseudoplatanus whereas in the USA sycamore is Platanus occidentalis - the joys of common names again).

It's a maple; Acer sp. The fruit you see is called a samara

: I think that you may be right, the bark is a dead giveaway.

Yep, I concur. No doubt it's A. griseum.
