The Willow Pool If I wanted to dispose of Excalibur, at my Lord's command, this is the sort of place I would fling it.  Ancient, surviving, wrecked willows in a deep pool.

The pool is the remnant of recent rains, when the adjacent River Eye rose and met the torrents falling on the field.  This area is all low-lying wetland, and the Willow is the queen of the landscape.  

This is a stitch of 6 separate images of 6252x4164 pixels, stitched with Microsoft ICE to yield a panoramic shot of 13642x8203 pixels - subsequently downsized to suit Geograph.   The full stitch is available on request.

Willow in the water One of the trees featured in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7058886">SK8018 : The Willow Pool</a>.  It is very hard to dissuade a willow from growing, and they revel in wet feet.

Wet enough for thee? One of the Willow trees seen in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7058886">SK8018 : The Willow Pool</a>.  Broken, wrecked, drowned it still grows vigorously.  This won't be the first time it has stood in floodwater.
