Pussy Willow Galore

Everything's all feisty fluffiness, bursting buds & fecund flowering in the green spaces & gardens around. This is when delving into macro shots pays such dividends. I did get some shots at higher magnification of this feathery burst of twig-borne vitality - but liked this shot the best - with the various stages of bloom unfolding across the shot.
Always loved this doggerel: (which is Anon as far I can tell)

The Budding Bronx
(alt. "The Brooklyn National Anthem" )
Der spring is sprung
Der grass is riz
I wonder where dem boidies is?

Der little boids is on der wing,
Ain't dat absoid?
Der little wings is on de boid!
