Belle Isle Willows

Belle Isle is famous for its old warped willows. They are everywhere on the island.

And V, here is the same tree, a litle more "noir" for you.

A rather spooky photo, Mary, but beautiful at the same time! So cold looking up thar in Detroit!; January 26, 2010 at 4:20 PM

Mary Stebbins Taitt said...: Thanks, V, Jacon and Rose. V, I think I'd have fun making this very "noir!" What if I inverted it, for starters?

I used to climb a weeping willow when I was a kid, Jacob!; January 26, 2010 at 7:55 PM

Wolynski said...: Strange, but intriguing.
Why are these willows so warped? Is it the wind from the lake?; January 29, 2010 at 6:02 AM
Mary Stebbins Taitt said...: I'm not sure, willows (around here) all tend to look that way--they have fairly soft wood--so between the wind and constant breakage, that may be why.; January 29, 2010 at 7:51 AM
