My favourite tree

I had a very busy day meeting with family in the morning then spent most of the afternoon in the garden and as the day ran on I had to turn to my favourite tree for a blip. The sun was beginning to set in the west (right hand side of photo) and I thought I might have caught it in the blip - and I did, but next door's house was also there so I had to take the shot from my upstairs window. There are no apparent buds on the tree, but I expect it to be covered in leaves very shortly.
