All the colors of the rainbow

I found these brightly colored pussy willows at a Dublin flower stall and absolutely fell in love with them - their wonderful colors just seem to exude happiness and SPRING! (Hurray! It's spring! And you know what that means (especially here with Israel's blink and you miss it spring) - winter is finally over and it's nearly summertime again!)
.
I mean seriously, how can you look at this and not smile?

  7. Stunning color!
    The first reminds me of Easter. The second shot is just plain lovely and yes, smile worthy indeed!

  8. The colors are bold and plentiful. To see such flowers is a treat, and I wouldn't consider a gray and damp place as Dublin to see such flowers. Perhaps it is that enduring luck o' the Irish!

  30. You're right, I can't help but smile looking at all this flora. Must be all that rain they get in Ireland, eh?

    Gorgeous shot. I also am intrigued by the colorful pussy willows.

    I've not visited in a while. Guess I can't keep up! Have a nice weekend, Robin.
