Vernal willow flowers

Today I finally had a photo of a flowering willow. So, the photo is worth of presenting. The time of their flowering is short and I have always missed it.
Willows are the earliest blooms of spring, as evidenced by the iconic nature of willow catkins as a sign of spring. For insects waking up in early spring, the importance is greater than the symbol: many sources of pollen are not found in the cold landscape. Willow is vital to them. We humans need them, too, to enjoy their beauty(:
