Corot created his morning scenes—but this morning the sun shining thru the willows at Wade Park surpassed even his wildest imagination. Grass silvery with heavy dew. At any time during the day to look thru any tree at the sun produces wonderful morning haze effects. There is such a stillness on the air; the only evidence that nature is breathing are the soft leaves falling slantwise.
