What direction is earths axis pointing when north America is experiencing summer winter spring an fall?

The direction of the "point" of Earth's axis of spin does not change (at least not noticeably on human time scales - there is a 25 thousand year precession). The orbit of the Earth round the Sun means that the north pole of this axis of spin is pointing towards the sun in Summer, away in Winter and sideways in Autumn and Spring.
