Dormant willows
asleep by the stream
waiting for Spring.

Much Like me 🙂
Lovely !
Thank you, Morgan! Hope you’re having a peaceful weekend, my friend!
Under clear skies
the weary willows
weep no more
Wonderful “winter” poem. Here in Alaska they are bent with snow, but willows are lovely wherever the grow.
I’m waiting for the same thing.
Lovely monotones!
Thank you kindly, my friend! I softened the colors for a sleepytime effect 🙂 Best wishes to you in the week ahead!
Cheers,
Tyler
On an excursion to scope out Snowy Owls last Sunday, we noted that the Willows have already “yellowed up”, which generally occurs a bit later in the Winter. Not sure if two days of above freezing temps were implicit or a couple days of sunny skies, a rarity as of late. In any case, it was a hopeful sight for this snow weary naturalist. 🙂
Thank you, my friend, for sharing your world with me! I too have noticed the willows yellowing up and some are even beginning to bud out. I’m planting at my restoration sites, so I’m hoping they hold off a little longer so I can still harvest and plant cuttings! Mother Nature has a mind of her own. I live in awe everyday…so much beauty to behold as the seasons change. Have a wonderful week ahead!
Cheers,
Tyler 🙂
Our willows are confused. LOL They think spring has arrived, along with our daffodils. I think they are in for a rude awakening. –Curt
Reblogged this on The ancient eavesdropper.
Life somehow reduced to its natural, pre-civilised state…. your post could have been written for a place you have never visited as far: Fiume Cavata, Sermoneta – Italy (my area).
I am glad you dicovered my blog.

Thank you kindly, my friend! Keep inspiring the world with your blog, Luana, & have a wonderful weekend!
Cheers,
Tyler 🙂
Beautiful photo and poem. I love Willows. Tiny green shoots are starting to appear here too.
Thank you kindly, my friend! I am fond of willows too…a few have started to bud out. It makes me excited for Spring 🙂 Enjoy your weekend!
Cheers,
Tyler 🙂
Me too! I hope you’ve had a good weekend 🙂 Enjoy your day. 🙂
