Pussy Willow

A beautiful - if still a little cold - morning today, so we set out for Straw's Bridge with the sun shining on us and lots of blue sky to enjoy.  'Swan Lake' was looking good in the sun.

Along the paths, the Willow trees are starting to open their fluffy buds and in the sunshine, they are like silver highlights along the branches.

Despite the cold, they make you think of Spring.

I couldn't help thinking that they look just like rabbits feet and probably the most tactile things, you just have to touch them.
