Recently I collected some froghoppers/spittlebugs from a 10-foot high little
tree or bush an abandoned garden near York Redoubt, Halifax, and would like to
know what it is. (Actually I fell into it ignominiously and a small branch
broke off, so I took it home).  Couldn't find anything convincing in my tree
book, so could  anyone who knows about tree-ID please take a look at the last
two photos uploaded to
www.flickr.com/photos/Steve_1968
where the two pics are called 2007Sept23_shrub-1  and -4, and at least 
a few of
the leaves are in focus.
As this was a former garden, it is not necessarily a N. American 
native, cold be
an imported ornamental.
Thanks,
Steve (Halifax)
P.S. to Dave Webster:  the Liancalus flies (Dolichopodidae) were still 
flitting
around on the Halls Harbour cliffs a week ago, along with a few bristletails
sitting on the rocks, but the latter are about to disappear into the rock
crevices for their long winter hibernation, or whatever they do in there.
