RE: Mountain Monday - A Sunday Drive
Nice to see water in river with snow in some pics, balanced combination of winters i guess.
What's that small thing that you captured beautifully? Willow, is that a living organism?
They are pussy willows, the pre-leaf stage of the willow trees and bushes. They look like hairy fuzzy little cat toes, and are also refered to as katkins, but most people just call them pussy willows.
I checked out Willow on google. As per the pictures i saw of the long fluffy willow tress, it is fascinating to see the earlier stage of it.
Maybe word pussy confused me earlier.
It is fascinating to know this now, increased my knowledge base, thanks :)
Prior to my arriving in Alaska, a long time ago, I always knew them as catkins.
