Finding flufffy white catkins for Outdoor Wednesday
I found a traditional sign of spring yesterday.. My purpose when going out the door with my camera was to find, Robins, Goldeneye or Pussy Willows. I had spring on my mind. I found Pussy Willows. At first glance I couldn't tell if they were really the fluffy white catkins of the Pussy Willow or justwaterdrops on the branches. A second look through my camera lens confirmed my hopes! This was a special find! This was a special harbinger of spring that I was looking for. Others year's finds,of my first sightings have been stored away in my photo archives as shown in the two photos below. I could not get up close close to yesterday's find or I would have ended up in the ditch hip deep in snow and I didn't want that to happen..
