Salix discolor aka pussy willow

I arrived early for the photography group on Monday so parked the car and walked back to this tree I'd noticed on the way in. It had been raining quite heavily and a few raindrops had stayed on the catkins, one of them reflecting the branches.

Sunny today and after I've taken Jinks for the morning walk (snoring on the rug behind me) I'm going for a swim. Think I'll take with me 'Un Aller Simple' which we're reading in the other French group and sit by the pool for a while. I've read the book once but a second read, for me anyway, produces more...........
what an amazing shot, Hazel. yes love the branches in the rain drop. hope you have a nice swim

Yes, that's my little Lumix! ( I took the big one (FZ62) out this afternoon and found a robin but other than that facility of the long zoom, I really am still not too happy with it....)
