Winter solstice

Pussy willow buds pheatured in foto phailure.

There was no way to get closer to the tree. There was no way to walk around it to get a less cluttered background. I haven't yet invested in an iPhone update that lets me do boquet*. So I'm relying on words.

Spring is on the way! See the buds? No? Look a little harder.
