paintbrush in nature

Well, hello everyone! This has been quite a week. So busy at work. Been staying late every night. We got the inspection done on the home we are looking to buy. The roof is at the end of its life. We met a roofer there today to get an estimate. I let my husband deal with that, I took some photos. First free moment all week. And, I mean just a moment! I'm still amazed at all the buds and blooms in the garden!! In December on the Oregon coast??? wow! I decided to use this photo because, I don't know, it looks like a pussy willow but the plant doesn't. So, I'm not totally sure if it is actually a pussy willow or not but I liked it's soft look. I sure hope everyone is having a nice week. I hope to catch up with all your photos soon!!! :)
Thank you for your comments on my elk photo. I am seriously still in awe of that experience. It truly was magical for me. Like I was allowed in their space for just those little few moments of time
