Springing into autumn

Better large.

I can't stop photographing this tree, though I don't often blip it -- last time was in July. I like its goblet shape, and it's in a perfect position for catching dramatic skies. But I've never blipped it in the context of the row of wind-kinked almond trees of which it is a part. So here it is, with some autumn colour -- although the mild weather has caused it to put out some fresh green leaves.

I was out blipping much earlier than usual, so there were different lighting possibilities to play with. I toyed with this backlit tree (blip assistant's choice), but I posted a similar scene recently.
