Poetic, I think. It seems the two weeping willows are bowing to one another in a greeting, like old friends. Much like a poem, there’s a scenario to interpret, with the imagination at play. Beautiful photography!

Soft and dreamlike – the wind will softly part the willows and I’ll be drawn in to the beautiful scene on the other side. Perhaps a unicorn will drink from the water.
Love it Kala!

I absolutely love the willow trees. Not because of anything glamorous but only because they have an elegant and graceful flow. This is something hard to express but so surprised to see that you captured all the elegance and grace I love in a single image. This is my new favorite image! I will always remember your image as I bike ride past my lovely willow trees this coming Spring and stop to enjoy the view.
