Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy'd the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought, to have done?

Pussywillows
On Boundary Bay wetlands, against a still-wintry sky.
Nature notes and photos from BC, Canada, mostly in the Lower Fraser Valley, Bella Coola, and Vancouver Island.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
We've seen a few pussy willows here already ... and rock dandelions and pasture buttercups and a butterfly!! All about 2-4 weeks earlier than usual.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love the quote
ReplyDeleteThe quote is perfect! And the pussywillows are so cute! Ours came out a couple of weeks ago, also several weeks early.
