Pussy willows still on the shrubLocal pussy willows are big and fluffy now. They thrive in areas still wet with spring run-off but I couldn't resist getting my feet wet to take a photo.

Just love those pussy willows...don't see them in the wild as much as I used to, so thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Stunning. I LOVE the background as well. How did you do that???
ReplyDeleteA sure sign of spring when the pussy willows are out.... but this morning.... SNOW! I think the real spring has gone into hiding.

I love Pussy Willows but I don't think I've ever seen one up that close - even in person.

ReplyDeleteIn Singapore and malaysia, they import Puss willow for Chinese New Year Decoration. It is usually in January and February. I didn't know they bloom so early.
ReplyDeleteAs for Jean Batten, it was amazing for a woman at her time. I have never flown even as a passenger in a small plane. The smallest plane I flew was Fokker Friendship in Borneo. When I went to canada, I flew in a 747. Thanks for visiting my site.
Cheers,
Ann
Nice, we cant grow them here..so it gets imported from China during Chinese new year...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of pussy willow. We don't seem to have any around here.
ReplyDeleteI also love the cyclamen starting to poke its head above ground. Spring is on the way!
I came by looking for Ruby Tuesday, but am glad I found your lovely nature photos.
