Hazel's catkins?

Was particularly atttacted to these catkins by their different colours and shades in diminishing 'sprigs' of 4, 3 and 2 respectively.

Having scrolled through realms of catkin photos, methinks these are Hazel. If you're in the 'know catkins club' and they're not, please let me know to ensure credit goes to the correct genus.

This is a rather pleasing composition - well spotted.

Catkins already? sure sign of spring ... complete with droplets!

[Walks @ 7]

Spring, yes! VML your composition with the gentle bokeh.

I'm sure you're right and they are Hazel!

They are very pretty.

[Kathy]

Well spotted. That's odd that they came out in different numbers like this. Nice big water drops too.

[Joan Robillard]

Another sign of spring

[Cherrill]

Yes def hazel. Strange how they have opened up at different stages but a great example of how they develop. Looks great with the droplets.

[Hazel]

I'm interested that hazel catkins are different from other catkins especially as we have hazel trees and an alder near our stream. I like your focus and dof.

[Camille Bisson]

this is so beautiful, the bokeh is so delicate. makes for such a special capture. wonderful composition.

Hi, looks like I am your 'get pushed' partner..did not realised I had entered and not quite sure what to do..... but sorry I am late contacting you and I suspect you were supposed to set me a task....as a newbie have I missed a message board or something? Anyway if we are still doing it I would like you to push yourself to photograph something in the dark, all your pics this month are in light conditions. Is this OK?

[Margo Sayer]

@wylieclicks. TYF The challenge, I'll gladly pick up the gauntlet and see what I can muster.

Sheila, re your challenge from me, you've already fulfilled it. Twice, with shots of your husband and the hide clamp. ;-)
