Every time I looked out of the upstair’s bedroom window, most of what I saw were the thick branches of the willow trees that grew at the end of the carport. During the summer they created a wall of green foliage, and during the winter, it was a thick tangle of naked branches. Both views were not very photogenic, but now, since I had the tops of the willows lowered to 10 feet (you can see the trunks sticking up from the roof in the foreground), I can now look out and see our road and the treed slope on the other side of the road.
It is still not really a spectacular view, but I am finding it interesting because it is so different from what it was. I get the same feeling when we drive down our driveway, now that the willows have been cut back. We can see so much more of our house, and there is so much more light illuminating the scene.
I am very looking forward to watching the willows start to branch out from their tops again, once the summer season is upon us.
