Thank you for watching!

Willows, sallows, and osiers form the genus Salix, around 400 species of deciduous trees and shrubs, found primarily on moist soils in cold and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Most species are known as willow, but some narrow-leaved shrub species are called osier, and some broader-leaved species are called sallow (the latter name is derived from the Latin word salix, willow). Some willows (particularly arctic and alpine species), are low-growing or creeping shrubs; for example, the dwarf willow (Salix herbacea) rarely exceeds 6 cm in height, though spreading widely across the ground.

Willows are very cross fertile, and numerous hybrids occur, both naturally and in cultivation. A well known example is the weeping willow (Salix × sepulcralis), a widely planted ornamental tree, which is a hybrid of a Chinese species, the Peking willow, and a European species, the white willow.

I love this one. Combined with the willow, some of these shrubs seem to form two eerie figures on the right. They seem either headless or have their heads low between their shoulders, like hunchbacks.

It challenges my mind, is this a tree or a waterfall, maybe fireworks.
Great shot!
