Pussy Willows

Being spring, the 'pussy willows' are out in force. For a while I wondered what the words referred to, now I understand it is the flowers of whatever tree type it is that puts them out. They vary quite a lot between species, these red branched bushes of about 3 metres height produce these particularly nice looking ones.

It is fairly common to see them used as 'flower' arrangements in homes in Alberta. That's where these ones ended up.
