Wish I could identify trees better without looking at the leaves. What kind of tree is this please? Thanks in advance!  :) also hopefully I posted these pics correctly.

Maple for sure, probably red maple, Acer rubrum.

Thanks that's what I thought to until somebody told me it was an ash then I wasn't sure anymore. Thanks again.

WDH

Definitely not ash.  Definitely a maple.

Bark and twigs look like soft maple, probably a red maple.  And a nice one to. 8)

The key giveaway there is that the twigs are opposite (twigs branch out exactly opposite from one another, when one is missing just look for a scar, twigs/ branches fall off but they leave a scar) .  So when you see opposite twigs/leaves then you have narrowed it down quite alot.  Ash is another tree family with opposite structure but stems are thicker, buds different, and bark is very different. (you could google it but it is blocky).  You'd likely never confuse a mature Ash and Maple bark.

Ash
Dogwood

Horse chestnut

All opposite branching correct? Something I learned a while back but can't remember if I'm missing one?

Also ash bark looks a lot like black Walnut bark doesn't it?

WDH

The bark of the two look very different to me.  Walnut bark is very dark and fissured.  Ash is more greenish brown with tight interlacing ridges.
