Excellent photos. Too early for catkins around here.
Thanks. The hazels are in a full on display of shaking tails here.
Lovely shots and a blue sky! That’ s an unfamiliar sight lately.
I am dying to see some more blue sky now. Too many dreary days!
The close up of the hazel flower is really pretty. It makes me think about.. the nose of the star nosed rat 🙂
Upon my word, you are right!! What a strange creature that is.
Very strange creature indeed, equally fascinating
Beautiful and meaningful post! Mysteries of nature have no end.
