I ran across some budding trees in the forest, and it made me think of pussy willows. BUT they were not willows--before I saw these, I thought they were aspen trees. For anyone who knows aspens well, do they do this before the leaves come out??
This is the Saskatchewan River that runs through Edmonton, Alberta. The blue area is the only part of this very wide river that was not iced over. This is looking through the trees in the forest above the river.
A view of downtown Edmonton, this one showing many shapes, colors and angles.
