I’m not 100% positive either, Chum. I took this while driving down the road in Oklahoma, so I’m not familiar with the tree. My best guess would be oak or elm.
Yes, I know, I’ve apologized and she does sorta look like an old gray haired lady.
Well, Susan, I can’t say for sure, as I saw here in the middle of frozen Oklahoma. My guess is an oak, since they’re extremely hardy. An elm would be my second guess…
These branches do look similar to a weeping willow. My guess is that these particular branches are weeping because of the layers of ice they carry. It was a massive ice storm I was stuck in last year.
*eyes casted down* I’m sorry for being rude, Duketh. Maybe she does look like an old lady. I was wrong. Forgive me?
You’re not old…but yes, you did tell me you were old, however, I never believe you.
Yes, it does. Same thing happens around the Kansas City area…some sort of crazy dip in wind paths or something. So very dangerous. Best to stay put. Driving in snow is cake compared to ice. Ice don’t play. 🙂
Yes, it would. Unless you are a magician, as well, you’ll have to write it up. I guess you could be into science enough to find a way. I know a lot of men who would find the quest of setting ice ablaze the perfect challenge. In their garage… = danger.

I was going to answer the tree question with Willow, Weeping, Aud. But looking closely, I’m not sure that’s correct.
The ice covering in Kansas sure does make it look like a gray-haired lady, though, be it an oak, which is my second guess, or otherwise.
And your Haiku nails its gender and intent.

Just curious, you know. 🙂 The branches reminded me of weeping willows. (Which my daughters used to call the “crying tree.”

Perhaps that’s the way the zombie apocalypse starts, right?
Sam: “I was just trying to figure out a way to burn ice in my garage and suddenly the dead are rising from the graves! Pretty cool, huh?”
Phil:”Sure, man! Wait, isn’t that George?”
Sam:”Yeah it is. He doesn’t look so good!”
Phil:”He’s one of the legion of undead you loosed on the world, you moron!”
George:”BRAAAAINS! BRAAAINS!”
etc..
So, yeah, I’ll get to work on that!
