I am going to try and take this view the first weekend each month for the year to see the changes. It is surprising what difference you get from shot to shot with the clouds overhead creating shadows that change the lighting on the trees quite dramatically.
I am doing something similar on the first of every month Rob, so needless to say, great idea!! For me, this converys the mildness that our winter has thrown at us thus far, with a hint of all could be about to change.
