The gentle greening of
the weeping willow
by the industrial site,
spiky catkins hang too,
hardly noticed among the
trailing leafy stems.

This one seems japanese, it is so clean and pure! i like "gentle greening" and its contrast with "spiky catkins" and "trailing leafy stems"

ps magnolia here is slipping its buds at last :0)

The weeping willow is one of my favourite trees along with the oak, it always gives a sense of feeling dreamy and that atmosphere of relaxation.

I enjoyed your study of this tree Rhiannon.

Like a green curtain, and on an industrial estate, a welcome touch of nature among the concrete blocks. Catkins hardly noticed, I like this. I have the curly one (contorta) it's good because you can prune it and keep it quite small. They add a sort of coolness I think, especially on a hot day, like air conditioning.

Thank you, Jane. As Jenny commented that they give a relaxing feel, maybe because of the waving of the curtain in the breeze! Rhiannon
