View of distant hills and the roof of a house, between the twisted trunks of oak trees lining a ridge. Tiny young bright green leaves are just unfolding on the oaks, acid green in colour.
Same view in landscape, ten years later. The view across a river valley, the distant hills, and the young oak leaves just uncurling on the branches of the oaks. The difference is time - 4 weeks earlier in the year.
Looking back in my photos for cherry blossom to illustrate season creep.. But these oaks illustrate it nicely.
Same view. 10yrs apart.

This year ??? tbc. The cherries are blossoming alarmingly early though.
