Weeping Willow Green, Missoula, Montana

The waving fronds of this gracious weeping willow tree greet me on work mornings as I walk up the sidewalk along the front of our office. In all their falling forward glory, the moving branches bring to mind hair swept across the face of the shy girl. It's been interesting to see them shift from dormant winter sticks that clack amongst themselves in a wind to supple greening shoots swishing in the spring breeze.

  2. I love them, too, ever since playing house with the B.C. cherry orchard owner's daughter under the ground-sweeping branches of a huge weeping willow.
