remember the pussy willow poplar buds i posted one week ago today and i declared that our delayed spring had to be right around the corner?  well, these are those very same buds photographed an hour ago.  i had set the branch out on my front stoop.  we got about six inches of heavy wet snow last night. everything was covered in white.   the bright april sun has been bouncing off an entirely white landscape all day. it’s completely disorienting.
