If the Oak is out before the ash..... by snowy

If the Oak is out before the ash.....

This is an old weather lore saying...."If the Oak is out before the Ash, then we shall surely have a splash, If the Ash is out before the Oak, then we shall surely have a soak".The Oaks are well out before the Ash this spring !We just managed to go for a walk in the woods between showers.
loooove the pic Diana, so beautiful!

Lovely pic - hadn't heard that one and I'm not sure I know what ash looks like a - I'll have to look it up - the oaks are well out though!

Interesting saying-new to me. I like the halo effect of the trees against the beautiful blue sky. Very nice.

Beautiful shot, Diana! I have never heard that saying before, I will have to remember that one.
May 9th, 2011  
I'd never heard that before Dianna - probably because I live in the southern hemisphere without the native deciduous trees. Great greenery!

Wonderful shot up through the trees. Fancy people not knowing that saying..............The ash is just coming but we still have had no rain at all here............I think it must be quite localised because others seem to have had some showers.
May 11th, 2011  
looks good!

Very nice perspective. Love this!
