7-Day Nature Photo Challenge – Day 2
Andrikken, thank you for nominate me to that 7-Day-Photo Challenge.
This is my input for day 2.
Andrikkens blog has really good photographs, but not only. He has humor and always a twinkle in his eye 😉
By asking Amy if she would like to accept the challenge, I hope she will present us some of her wonderful photos from her very special book.

Excellent captured – so fascinating… 🙂
Thank you, Drake. I really appreciate your kind comment 🙂
Have a good start on Thursday,
Ulli
Lovely photo of the pussy willow. Yet I learn Ulli…I never knew that Germany has pussy willow. In my lil red dot, the pussy willow is important to have at home for Chinese New Year. The same for China and HK. Red ribbons will be tied on each branch. Decorative, yet symbolic of good wealth to be bestowed to the household. ☺
Hey, hey, you early bird 😉
I never knew that LRD has pussy willow – and, what a nice tradition. In Germany they hang Easter eggs in the branches 🙂
Have a good Thursday, GH.
Best wishes,
Ulli
Good evening and you are up late. Interesting fact again…hanging Easter eggs on branches!! Rest well Ulli. 7.25am here. Time at work 😀
Hi GH. Oh, TGIF in Singapur – good morning 🙂
Have a stressless day and a wonderful weekend ahead, GH.

wonderful close up, ullie and a beautiful background! 😉
Thank you, Curieuzeneuzemosterdpot. The background is a „lightshow“ with sun and a little creek.
Have a nice evening,
Ulli
beautiful pussy willows! thanks for sharing.
they must be very early. i will have to watch to see if ours are out yet here in my corner of the planet.
And, are they, Kris?
March is not too early for the pussy willow in Germany.
Best wishes,
Ulli
I really like this photos, Ulli. Beautiful details, nature colors, and lighting! Well done. 🙂
Thank you, Amy. It’s just a little branch. But in the back there is a little creek and the shafts of sunlight played with the little waves of the water 🙂
have a nice day,
Ulli
It remainds me a fruit we have and we call pacay (Inga feuillei) it has green pods and inside cotton-like candy pulp. It is so delicious. So your photograph taste sweet to me ^w^
Greetings,
Francis.
Thank you for your kind words, Francis. So the pacay is the peruvian answer to the german pussy willow 😉 – but you can’t eat anything of the pussy willow ….
Have a nice evening, Francis
Ulli
The pacay inside the white pulp has a black seed. Perhaps they are related,
Nice evening there as well, Ulli
Francis.
Oh, I see. Yes, perhaps they are related, nice idea, Francis 🙂
Greetings,
Ulli
