I thought that image would be the exact opposite of what you favor,
since it shows the Earth's axis tilting - changing its orientation.

Which it does for precession, but which it does not do for the
seasons; instead, the axis stays pointing in the same direction, but
the Earth moves to the other side of the Sun - as I though you
emphasized as well.
