  1. Reminds me of pussy willows. Lovely. :)

  2. Wow, the buds are huge. I guess they have to be given the size of the flower. Really gorgeous photo. I loved watching the fuzz quiver as the photo painted on the screen.

  3. I love the DOF in this one and I’m pretty sure your magnolia is confused…. (much like the birds in my area.) Really a pretty tree. p.s. I’ve never seen one before thank you for sharing it with us.

  4. I saw this and immediately had a flashback from fifty years ago when we used to play in the woods and find pussy willows growing. Such an interesting little plant.

  5. Oh I cannot WAIT for the magnolias to come out! We don’t get the powder puff variety…I believe ours here are the saucer type. They are gorgeous all the same!

  6. Cool photo. The snow provides a very nice backdrop don’t you think? :)
