Amazing how trees change when they put on their coat of green....love the images Beth
ReplyDeleteYes, it's fun to watch the change, isn't it? Most of this happened after last month's tree following post--in fact, most happened within the span of nine days in May. I wish I'd had time to take a photo each day, but other projects pulled me away.
DeleteLove the time lapse effect :)
ReplyDeleteI know--it's even wilder to see it happen outside the kitchen window. The quick changes with this type of tree are crazy fun to watch in May (here in Wisconsin, anyway).
DeleteTrees really rush into spring, no? Nice way to show the leafing out process.
ReplyDeleteYes, when they finally do, it happens fast! And now they're providing blessed shade and shelter for all kinds of creatures. Fun to watch!
DeleteThe fresh green when the trees first leaf out is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a magical time, but it all happens so fast. At least we get to enjoy the fully leafed out stage for the summer.
DeleteGreat series, the rise of live in spring.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's so fun to watch the change out the kitchen window!
DeleteWhat a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks! One of these springs, I'll take a shot every day from May 1-May 31 and make a flip book or a video. That's when most of the change happens.
DeleteIt's exciting to see the tree's metamorphosis!
ReplyDeleteGreat tree--I'm glad you enjoyed the transformation!
DeleteI love to see the progress. It's really interesting! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I agree--it's amazing to see the changes!
DeleteWhat a wonderful idea to capture these changes. Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteIt's a joy to follow a tree. I agree--very interesting.
DeleteGlorious . . .
ReplyDeleteYes, it's fun to document a great tree's changes!
DeleteThat's gorgeous...and a wonderful idea..good for you for carrying it out. I'm always wanting to do it, start with a few photos...and then...whoops totally forgot.
ReplyDeleteJen
Thanks, Jen. I would have liked to have captured more, although toward the end, the changes weren't as perceptible. Time-lapse is fun to watch!
DeleteLovely to watch it all leaf out! Great images, Beth!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose! I'm always amazed by the Shagbarks in mid-May through early June!
DeleteThat was fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I agree. Fun to see and fun to document. ;-)
DeleteBeautiful! It looked like it was getting dressed. :o)
ReplyDeleteYes, I guess that's a good way to think of it, Tammy. :)
DeleteFeel quite moved by this. And struck by how much the light under the tree has darkened.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing, Lucy. Add in similar changes to the large Oak trees in my garden and it's easy to see how the light changes drastically from winter to summer. And it shows the shade protection value of great deciduous trees.
DeleteIf I scroll fast it is amazing to see how dark and green it gets, it must be much cooler under it than in the sun. Interesting effects.
ReplyDeleteYes, very different light levels. The sunny winters help us save money on the heating bill, and the shade in the summer saves money on air-conditioning expenses.
DeleteWhat a great presentation!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was fun to document!
