There are willow pussies Clad in furry goods,

    And a robin singing
    In the maple woods.
    There's a springing crocus,
    And a budding larch,
    Who'd ever think the Springtime
    Came along in March.

    Pussy Willows

      Oh how I love pussy willows......

      I've always wanted a bush in my yard.

      A sure sign of Spring. Super capture.

      Country Dreaming: Very warm here today in MD. Most certainly a welcome sight!

      Lisa: Thank you for your visit and comment! This is a tree not a bush. It was started by my daughter when she was a child from a twig stuck into a glass of water. My husband used to trout fish when the pussy willows were blooming. He always brought home a few twigs for us : )

      I love Pussy Willows!!! I wish I had some here!! They just won't grow here! I think the climate is just too humid or hot or both!!! I miss having them growing. They're so soft and look wonderful in a bouquet!!!! You got a great capture of them and wonderful bokeh in the background!!!

      This shot is amazing!
