The driveway approaches the house with a border on the left and lawn on the right. The overhanging tree has vicious spikes on it which threaten the lawn-mowing person, and scratch the roof of the car. It's a locust tree.

There are other smaller locust trees, or Gleditsia, here in the garden which are completely thornless, although they must have seeded themselves from this parent tree.
