Chestnut in the evening light

This is how the chestnut looked on April 13.

And a week or so before. On the local chestnuts in the New Forest the leaves are all out and the blossom spikes visible. This one is a few days behind.

Light makes so much difference to the look of a tree on a bright sunny day it looks covered in green leaves. Then the next day when the light is lower the leaves seem almost gone. This is what makes it so hard to convert a series of tree pictures into movie showing the changes.
