Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Pussy Willow

These newly emerging Pussy Willow catkins at Mt. Lorette area, Kananaskis, were still wearing their little "elfin" caps, LOL. Kind of liked the background - except for the blown-out part at the top : ).

The background bokeh has to have been created by all the bushes in the background, but the colour did take me a bit by surprise. It felt so good on Sunday afternoon, 31 March 2013, to see these beautiful Catkins. I was on a walk with friends in Weaselhead, along a different trail from the usual one, and we had a lot of bush-wacking to do and walking in mud, lol. Quite a work-out.

Not a patch on your photo quality, of course, but just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you yesterday when out of the city with friends. I was thrilled to bits that this bokeh happened "naturally", ha, ha! We all enjoyed seeing Pussy Willow catkins at the edge of the forest. Thanks so much for making me aware of "bokeh" and how fascinating it can be, and for providing endless inspiration. Big shoes to fill, but I'd love to improve, even if only a little bit : )
