Pussy Willows...FINALLY...and I just barely caught them..they look as though they were hanging on just for me to discover, but they were hard to find...such a lovely, gentle harbinger of spring that has finally arrived in the North Country.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

You have managed to make a good colourful presentation out of something one would normally not notice. Well done PJ

Beautiful PJ. I love pussy willows and sadly we don't have them here so I have a big bunch of (fake) ones in a large vase in my living room....can you send me some real ones :) Very nice post and glad you shared it.

After a bit of an absence, partly vacation but mostly tax season...busy for bookkeeping businesses... I'm glad to be back out here with at least 'some' regularity. I've missed everyone and am glad to have a little more time again.

I LOVE pussy willows. We used to have a bush by our house, but it died. You did a great job of sharing their softness here! Yay spring!

Hoi, PJ!
When I posted "Spring is in the air" on 04-02-2007, you wrote
in your comment to me:
"I love pussy willows. This is an excellent macro. Nice lighting and good detail here"
Now a few month later, I would say the same to you!
Beautiful, and well done!

~ Nice shot and work...I like how your frame picks up the same color as the little green shoots. As others said above, brings back fond memories.
