Pussy Willows/Macro Monday

Frozen rain on pussy willows

Yes, it's spring here in Ontario but the temperature still often dips below freezing.

Seen a bit further away

    Excellant EG. We're having the same sort of Spring here. Sunny days, BUT oh so cold. Hang in there Spring IS coming.

    These are so professionally done, you could set up an ad agency! To think that you captured these, and they were not the result of some experiments in a studio or lab! Wonderful indeed.

    I love the ice,

    Chinese people like puss willow for Chinese New year. I never bought any cause they cause so much money.

    Very fine macros! But it seems to me that if it's dipping below freezing, "spring" is the wrong description! :-)

    Hard to get past "wow!" on this one. Just plain fabulous, and beautiful. I love how you used the color of the ice to set the mood of the photo.

    Those are definitely 'WOW' shots! I've never seen rain frozen quite in that way, and I don't know that I've ever seen ice on a pussy willow, either! But then, I don't live in Ontario!

    Great shots!

    These are great macros. Once the pussy willows are blooming, the crocusses can't be far (I hope for you).
