Beautiful - I can almost smell it for some reason. We used to live near a special oak tree overhanging a trout stream, so I guess oaks remind me of that. There's a few oaks planted by the river here by European settlers, but it's the older redgums that get me - I posted about them just then, funnily enough - they were used by indigenous people and I've been reading about trees all afternoon, so your post jumped out at me!
