Got two trees for you here. I have leaves for them, but I'll post those after a few guesses. What do you think?

Neither of them grow in my area but I'll guess hedge and shagbark.

Is there a color difference? They look almost the same, I'll guess some species willow for top pic.

Is the second one a Red Maple?
Ooh, ooh. # 2 is a silver maple, leaves are visible., #1, is a guess, but I was thinking hedge (Osage orange) or something else, like hickory or an oak. I've seen bark like that on many different trees. It can age quite weirdly on many.

I guess silver maple on both. Impossible to be 100% with so little information.
shagbark and silver maple
Wish the pic was a little further away, top one could be a willow of some kind and the background looks more swampy than upland woods to me
Glad to see I fooled some of you. Here are the rest of the pics:

Well I can't see any details on the leaves of the second tree, so I'm sticking with silver maple on it. Leaves on the first make it a willow, to me anyway. I did see some of those leavs in the first picture, but couldn't make them out well enough. And it has been years since I've seen hedge leaves.
Yup! Shagbark Willow and Shagbark Maple! 
I was rather struck by the 'shagginess' of the two trees and was fooled myself until I saw the leaves.
That was a fun outing yesterday down to the confluence of the Mississippi and the Kaskaskia river. Here are a few other awesome trees I saw, plus an old barge.
An old old derelict of a bygone era - a phone booth! (No phone).
Hobbit-like tree.
2 pics of a hickory.
The family (plus a few)
Future son-in-law on the barge.
Brother of future SIL ascending barge.
Most of these graves were moved from the village of Kaskaskia when the Mississippi began to flood the town 120 years ago. over 3,000 graves moved up a STEEP hill. Wow.
