Today was such a nice day. I walked out of the library and headed to the bus stop to take a looksie at my tree. The sun was in full golden hour and it gave a bit of a glare in the picture.

The sky here looks really clear. The catkins are budding in three and I found that very interesting.

No leaves yet but the buds are in full growth.
