By a house in the country, where I lived for several years, there was a willow, over 50 years old, planted by my landlady's mother. This is a shot looking up into the winter branches--I used it as the photo for my Themestream index page titled "A Tree by the Stream." And in fact, a little stream ran through the blackberry thickets a few yards downhill. We used to have a hammock slung under the tree.
