Hint of green and weeping

The weeping willow tree in our back garden is bursting into leaf from one day to another. Lovely to see, difficult to capture.  Rather appropriate I thought, an image of a weeping tree when the 'head men' of the world are warning each other that they will strike. And via Twitter no less, how did we get to here ? Arrgh !

Anyway, remember tomorrow's Abstract Thursday's optional theme is 'repetition' and the tag will be AT146.

Thanks very much for your kind comments, stars and even a fave for yesterday's shell interior. I have done a lot of Googling, apparently those miniature ball shaped things could be the beginning of pearl-like balls, as there are several molluscs and sea snails that can sometimes produce pearls. Still have to find the name of the former inhabitant of my shell though ...
