The Willow whispers
foilage salute with panache
a breath of fresh air.

Willow salutes (CARPE DIEM Haiku #488)

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol

Thank you, I know they are lovely. I don’t see them often here and I am reminded of the romantic look of Cambridge University years ago on our trip to UK

I do remember when we were choosing trees for our home years ago, they have very long travelling roots, we were concerned they would crack our foundation;(

Most trees I think will do that I guess … I’ didn’t know about willows here they’ve all sorts including the round-leafed Japanese willows … they almost look bonsai!

Yes but some can destroy unless you have a huge lot and trees are planted far away.

Yes, so I’ve been told, never good to put trees to close to houses..but in Europe, there isn’t really much choice, no space. On the other hand the buildings are usually at least a couple of century’s old 😉
