Leaf Shades by seattlite

Leaf Shades

These leaves caught my eye because of their rich brown tones and that they look like little hanging light shades. Can anyone identify the tree from this leaf shot? Thanks for your views and comments...always appreciated. Enjoy your day!
A neat arrangement of these attractive keys. I’m not sure what they are but they could be from a maple tree.

These are the seeds of the Sycamore Tree Gloria ( Not Leafs ), we used to call them Helicopter Seeds because when they fall to the ground they twirl round like a Helicopter and the wind can take them for miles so the can reseed, hope this helps, Fabulous capture...Fav

When I was a child we called these fruits "spinning Jennies" and as @tonygig Tony said they are the seeds of the Sycamore tree. Lovely rustic detail of them here Gloria.
