unfolding

The sticky buds of this horse chestnut have been gradually unfolding over the past few days, and I wanted to catch them before they were all fully out.
While I was snapping, a farmer came up the lane in a landrover with a trailer full of heifers, so I had to put my camera away hurriedly and grab the dog to move out of the way! However, we came back later when all was quiet!
Such are the challenges of photography!!
