Silver Birch

I love a silver birch tree and they're looking so good at the moment when the sun is on their new leaves. I took a photo from about here early in the month and this one shows the difference a few weeks have made. I've overlaid three exposures of the tree which has given it a partial PV look. 

It seems we might get some rain before long. The ground is so dry and that's great for walking but the grass had hardly grown at all when I gave it a trim yesterday. We're used to getting weather from a wet south westerly direction instead of these dry easterly winds. Trouble is it'll probably pee down when i go away in a couple of weeks but it'll be great anyway.
