Twisted Willow - (Explored) - a photo on Flickriver

            MAY YOU ALL HAVE A HAPPY - HEALTHY - AND SUCCESSFUL 2015

Salix matsudana (Chinese Willow) is a species of willow native to northeastern China. The species is named in honour of Sadahisa Matsuda, a Japanese botanist. The species is widely cultivated in China, and a horticultural variant with twisted twigs, the corkscrew willow, is widely planted.

I love this tree - for me it depicts the tree of life - none of us grow completely perfect or straight up and we all have to learn to bend a little as this tree does in the wind. 

I have so enjoyed your comments on my photo's your support, your humour and contact with you all on flickr.  And have so loved viewing the results of your talented, creative clicking - and am looking forward to seeing more in 2015. Kit
