Pussy willows

'The sky is still gray.  The scenery is still gray.  Nothing worth taking pictures of..."

Still, I took my camera with me when Choco and I went for a walk.

"Gray... gray... gray...  Ah!  Gray pussy willows!  In this ice and slush spring is trying to arrive."


So I photographed the pussy willows.  And noticed they were a bit pink.


"What if I put the camera on vivid mode?"


 Definitely pink!


 Spring may not be far behind!

This is the first time in 48 years since we planted the pink plum in our garden for our #1 daughter, that it has not bloomed by Feb. 15, her birthday! Not even a hint of opening on those dark buds. Maybe I need your camera to make them look like opening! Nice pictures.

Your photos are beautiful. Gives me joy to think that spring is not that far away.

I think I could do with being photographed on vivid mode. Do you think it would help?

Our snowdrops have been coming in January in past years, but they have only just come in the last week.
