Sunlit Ash

 Looking up an ash tree after an evening dog walk. I love how the late sun lit the crown as if it were Autumn.

Damaged Willows

 Saw a few of these damaged Crack Willows the other day, (Salix x fragilis), quite a shame to see them like this, though being Willow they will soon spring back.

In fact there were a few trees where branches had bent or broken into the river and had produce new sprouts.
