Next time I have to picture everything and not be too amazed by the size of the acorns so the ID will be easier! :)

The bark of three fits, leaves are similar, and acorns are the same, look this: http://www.plantsystematics.org/imgs/dws...

Hi, Ursula! I think these acorns are from Quercus rubra, I can't see leaves very good but to me looks like Q. rubra
