Hang Solo

Weeping Willowy Is The Essence Of Grace

Photographs copyright: DAVID McMAHON


The foliage on this weeping tree caught my attention yesterday afternoon. Not just because of the striking colours, but also because they formed such a graceful pattern. The horizontal frame is a handy close-up, but the vertical frame below makes use of the pattern on the adjacent building. The slender branches were an amazing blend of burgundy and maroon, and the rooster-claw protuberances are actually the news season's growth.

Beautiful, David!

I've been meaning to ask you: how do you format your photos in your posts? Do you link to a separate locale? And how do you get the little copyright blurb in there? I've seen others do this, not always with copyrights. Some pictures I'd like to caption separately and I have no clue how.

(did I just give you blogging fodder? Whoopsie. Teehee.)

Hi David,
I wish we had Fall colors like that here in Southeast Texas.
We have two: Green & brown.

Cheers,
Doug
