Tweeluik, de boom van de pad/ Diptych, the toad's tree

The tree is Salix Udensis 'sekka' - fantail willow. It is (or used to be) home to a toad (as discovered by my son some years ago). For me, it is reminiscent of that short period in a parent's life when the children have just turned adults and you neither have to educate them nor entertain.
