The wonder of pussy willows, and buds, and...

Today is a beautiful day. Shadow pup and I took a walk with camera, and I marveled at the re-emergence of new life. The pussy willows that were just fuzzy buds two weeks ago have turned into kitten tails.

Tiny leaves are coming out on some trees and bushes.

And a coyote was sunning himself on the edge of the ravine (but bolted when I took a step in his direction to try and snap a picture).

Spring is a wonderful season for noticing small -- and amazing -- things. What have you noticed today?
