27th February 2007 :: For how long will these remain new?

A lot of trees around my house are shedding leaves including the almond trees and these trees. I don't know what these are but they seem to take much longer to grow new leaves, the almond tree that shed leaves a week ago is green again. It is full of leaves but the size is a little smaller. I guess the tree on the right is an almond tree as that also has some new leaves. The new leaves are bright and shiny but very soon they will all be covered in dust caused by the construction around our society.
