What is this?

Taken yesterday when the sun was shining unlike the damp dog walk today.
It was actually on the ground but still thriving. I thought it was pussy willow but Keith doesn’t. So my lovely 365 pals please can you put me out of my pondering

Sorry l am not sure but it is a nice picture

At first look I agree with you but can’t see how fluffy it is.

[Fisher Family]

I would tend to agree with you, it does look like pussy willow. Nice shot!

I would call it pussy willow.

[Margaret Brown]

Spring is around the corner, nice capture

[LManning (Laura)]

It's a pretty shot, and it looks like pussy willow to me!

[Pam Knowler]

Looks like Pussy Willow to me but I cannot see how fluffy it is. I love early spring when things are starting to burst into bloom.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

so pretty, tho I can't identify it

[Pat Knowles]

The shape is pussy willow but not the buds….no fluff there I don’t think.

[Babs]

I just showed this to David and he thinks it is sticky buds (horse chestnut buds)

[Phil Howcroft]

really nice shot Denise

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Nice shot

It looks like chestnut buds. Note the thickening of the branches. Lovely close up.
