    Hi,
    The Red leaves and yellow flowers are on a tree that has a habit similar to the Acer Negundo that it lives next to, it is about 35-40 feet tall, greyish bark.

    The white flowering shrub is similar in habit to an Oso Berry but shorter in stature. Is it a Spiraea Nipponica?

    Many Thanks

    #1 and #2 are Norway Maple (Acer platanoides), one of the purple-leaf cultivars like 'Crimson King'.

    Spiraea, possibly S. canescens.
