Sorry, Not On This Safari

Not a tree I’d ever expect to see. Still, would be pretty awesome to witness. 

Just having some fun with Inktober.

The Weeping of the Willow

     “Why does the willow weep?” the girl asked her mother, blue eyes shining with curiosity. Her mother’s lips curved into a knowing grin and looked to the tree, as if visiting a distant memory.
