wwh:
Go back to the first site you listed. If you don't hit the 'auto' button, you can control the speed at which you look at the photographs simply by pressing 'increase' and 'decrease' as you wish.
The oak was one of the varietes of water oak, by the way. The leaf is rather small compared to some of the more well-known oaks species, such as the black and white oaks. The water oak also comes in a type that has a purely lanceolate leaf, very similar to the willow oak that a lot of people refer to incorrectly as the pin oak because the leaves could be said to look like pins. The pin oak, which doesn't have pin-shaped leaves at all, was so called because part of the wood was used in wooden pins, quite strong, in carpentry and fence building.
That water oak on your site is very exciting to spot because of the small leaves, their leathery texture, and the rather pretty leaf shape, somewhat like a duck's foot.
