Pussywillows are a popular etegami subject in the spring and your photo makes me itch to draw them. However we won’t be seeing them in our part of the country till April. ;p
On the other hand, I’ve never seen those pretty white flowers, but I think I know what they’re called (snowdrops?) because so many of my western artist friends are painting them these days. Is it really already spring there? (sigh)
beautiful nature shots, margie. it’s fairly cold here, but no snow. lots of mud. must go running. i hope you are well and enjoying your art, friends, etc. happy thursday!
Okay, between you and T, I keep having to double check what I posted, LOL! That is a branch from a magnolia tree in our yard, believe it or not. That’s why I’m not sure where in the heck I am!
You’ll laugh T! When you said pussy willows, I thought, what pussy willows? I had to go back and look at my post! That is actually a branch from our magnolia tree! Crazy huh?
Hmmmm . . . if you shot these photos in MI, I say UNBELIEVABLE! Isn’t there supposed to be like 10 feet of snow in those parts at this time of year?????? Hmmmm…..
It IS unbelievable Cecilia! We gotten a couple of inches twice and it hardly lasts as the temps are so high for this time of year it melts. Last night it rained and today is misty, so, what little we have left will be gone again.

It’s not suppose to be spring for a couple of months yet, but Mother Nature feels otherwise. Can’t wait to see your sumi pussy willows!
oh i love love love pussy willows!!! wonderful images ;o)
Wow….that’s incredible. Love the photos. And love the look of spring! Thanks for that!
Pretty!…but I’m glad I haven’t seen our flowers pop out like that yet. It’s too early.
I totally agree, but Mother Nature calls the shots!

You must have been flat to the ground to take that first photo??
Haha, pretty much!
I can not believe those buds trying to pop! You are going to have little flower faces to snap very soon. Hurry up Friday! And Good Morning Margie

fuzzy – aren’t they???? ~~~ : – )
Could Spring be really testing the waters? Are those buds for real? Hope springs eternal.
It is and they are!
hmm, your garden?
Hard to believe, but yes!
