leaves uncurled

This morning, the sycamore leaves were just opening, pale, miniature, translucent...







By this evening, they are ordinary green leaves.

Thanks again, Jan,
Annie, you're spoiling me!
I recommend to anyone else to head over to Annie's (itesser ink updates) for haiku with links, and a lot of other very interesting, clever, tasty things. One to watch, I think.

Very lovely pictures. Are there no pompoms? Our desert sycamores start the pompoms concurrently with the new leaves. When do yours come out?

Hi GrannyJ
some mixup with sycamores; these are pseudoplatanus and don't have pompoms; what we call plane trees, not so many round here but some in towns, are starting to have pretty little pompoms. You say tomato...!
