The fine grey fur, called catkins, of this small willow is a sure harbinger of spring and brings to mind Gordon Lightfoot's classic song that begins:
"Pussywillows cat-tails soft winds and roses
Rainpools in the woodland water to my knees
Shivering quivering the warm breath of spring"

Beautiful, hurry up spring
Good morning, I saw the page with enthusiasm, and sends a reply, Michael Greece
very nice shot! colors are magnificent.
how beautiful and serene pic
Focusing that close, those pussy willows take on an almost sci-fi aspect. And then you ground us again with a Gordy Lightfoot quote. Well done.
Need to see it again when it blooms. Georgis girl here does not know what a Pussy Willow looks like. ;)
What a wonderful photo of the potential of spring! Thanks for sharing.

It must definitely be spring when the Pussy Willows are beginning to bloom!
PS: Happy "BIRTH" day to you.
Beautiful shot!
