  1. I'm sure there must be times when the willows are weeping for reasons other than joy, don't you think? ;)

    1. Yep, but these willows were happy they had buds on them ;-)

  2. Thank you, Lolly! First sign of spring for me is usually the green tint on the weeping willows long before other trees or plants start their greening.

  3. I love this--I grew up with a number of weeping willows in the neighborhood.

  4. WOW! A masterpiece Maggie ... so in touch with the classical haiku and the inspirational music of Karunesh's Japanese Spring. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us.

    1. *blushing* Thank you, Kristjaan! The music truly was the inspiration for this one. Usually I had something pop into my mind before I saw the visuals or heard the music. Plus my computer actually worked to have the sound.

  5. I was very taken by the idea of spring floating along the river - it seems to me spring does come in gently as though floating ! Beautiful!

    1. Thank you, Bjorn! Masterpiece...hmmm. It flowed but "something" told me to add that first line. Internal collaboration.
