Not creeping rather weeping willow, Salix babylonica

From a distance it looked like handing branches of weeping willow. The name creeping willow was misleading. Yes there are flowers, but difficult to make out without close up of twIg or flowers. With what ever is visible, the only guess is bottle brush, Callistemon viminalis.
