congrats on your 1st place win andrea, I love weeping willows...you got the 'absence of movement' down to a T (something I completely disregarded haha) :-)

Terrific! You get the feeling the willow is weeping because the children, lovers and river are all gone now. Another well deserved 1st. Good going, Andrea! Joe

I love that you mastered the "absence of movement"..I just can't seem to wrap my poetry pen around this concept yet! ughhh ....ha ha. A wonderful moment as I become enthralled with this tree! Congrats, Andrea. Gwendolen
