On the lakefront, willows were planted years back to honor those lost during World War I. (The plaque, by the way, talks about how you can travel from Seneca Lake by boat to anywhere in the United States.)
Several years ago, a number of these willows were uprooted or damaged by a storm, but, back in July, I was able to view some of those that remain.
Pause, and reflect, and then enjoy this beautiful lake, is what these old trees tell us.

Gorgeous pics of one of the most beautiful trees ever!
ReplyDeleteI love trees! The stories they could tell. What a tragedy to lose even one. But what a blessing that some remain!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous lake!
Oh, sad to think that there were storms bad enough to uproot some of them.
ReplyDeleteLovely nature captures . Keep commenting in my blog because I love your comments.
ReplyDeleteSuper! Willows are such graceful trees...
ReplyDeleteI could count atleast 6 Willows there. Must have been so good to visit this place. So serene and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThese look quite unlike the willows I remember seeing or is it that I’ve never seen such thick willows? And to go anywhere from this lake! That sounds amazing . Memorials such as these being years to my eyes . I always feel sad for the poor lads who died for something they may have not even believed in. What a waste war is .
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with these trees you posted, that too by the lake side is still so beautiful... feel like taking a walk in this place ... the image itself is refreshing, thanks for sharing:)
