Under a Weeping Willow

Posted on July 21, 2019 by Susanne Swanson

I rested under a weeping willow.

Its trunk was thick and twisted

its leaves swayed in the breeze

on supple branches upheld by stronger limbs above

twisted too and content to be hidden.

Nice choice for the challenge, Susanne. I love those weeping willows. 🙂
We went to dinner in this place last night, and they have a lovely garden with a pond and weeping willow. (The pond photo comes up on the slideshow.)

I’ve always liked weeping willows! We don’t really have many in this area though. 😊

  Me too! There are several alongside the Cedar River trail which is where I took these pictures.

    I’m trying to make up for lost time, a catch-up day. You know how it is – tough to find enough time to write, and even harder to set aside enough time for reading.
