I read Nick's Oak blog while gazing out the window at my own oak - getting greener by the day as his turns gold. And after some delay while coming to terms with the technical side of things, here are my first trial pictures of the large oak out our window. I am very attached to the old trees of the New Forest, having spent hours and years walking with our first baby, David, under and through them for the three years we lived in April Cottage. "Our" oak is urban, but we watch it keenly as it goes through its seasonal changes. Just over a month ago it was bare, then one twig had green leaves at the very tip, then suddenly it was all bright Spring green, and now it's darkening as we head into Summer. Those of you who knew David as a toddler might get a sense of déjà-vu seeing his little brother, James, running under the oak this afternoon. I apologise for the poor photography - these photos were taken in late afternoon sunlight to play around with and get the hang of posting to this blog. In future we will head out in the morning and get the lighting better! Greetings to the New Forest from the Oak of Browns Bay, and Lynette.
