I’m again visiting the big willow tree at the east entrance to the Dungeness Recreation Area. I last showed it to you in autumn here. One of my favorite trees – I walk past it almost daily – it was pruned about a month ago on its right side. Equestrians are less likely now to collide with its lower limbs.
Its leaves are just beginning to unfurl. This is a closer view with a camera-impatient robin taking wing.
If a tree can be happy this one is. At least it healthy and growing well.
I am trying to become more alert to all the objects of “simple beauty” that surrounds us. Your tree certainly does qualify. A complex structure but a simplicity that is restful and appreciated. Also noted the spot of red!
It’s certainly looking like spring’s setting things up for it nicely!
In Flight! Great shot
