Spring is around the corner.........I hope! by shepherdmanswife

Spring is around the corner.........I hope!

No cat today, so give you catkins instead!

It's lovely to see all the catkins emerging. Spring must be on it's way, thank goodness.
I am so fed up with all the mud, wherever we go with the dogs. Just can't avoid it.

Lovely shot. No winter opportunities for me, even in winter!

Lovely shot, great detail. But isn't it a bit too early for catkins.

Great focus and clarity

Nooo, too early for spring, we haven't had any winter yet - well we haven't down here at any rate. Barely even a smidgeon of frost.
January 28th, 2014  
@leonbuys83 Don't you have them yet? Maybe it is colder where you are. We have lots in the countryside at the moment. I started noticing them about a week ago!
January 28th, 2014  
Beautiful focus and love the soft colours in the background.
January 28th, 2014  
Great capture -- with such mild winter they are well ahead of their usual appearance !
January 28th, 2014  
Lovely, yes they seem to think its Spring, I am in Cheshire and we have got lots.
January 28th, 2014  
@boxplayer no you're quite right. It has been so mild here in the Midlands, but too much rain making it far too muddy for the twice daily dog walks! It would be nice to have some hard frost but still looking forward to spring:)
January 28th, 2014  
Lovely dof and tones. I miss the frost and even the fog- there's hardly been any of either here.
January 28th, 2014  
They are just like lambs tails. We have lots in the southwest. A lovely sharp focus.
January 28th, 2014  
Great focus great detail
January 28th, 2014  
Great capture
January 28th, 2014  
Good shot. Not sure about spring though, snow has been mentioned
January 28th, 2014  
@chris17 I do hope so as I want to photograph a snowflake. It's on my bucket list:)
January 28th, 2014  
Pretty shot. Keep meaning to go and catch the first snowdrops but it is so dull outside. These certainly brighten up the day!
January 28th, 2014  
Lovely shot and pov
January 28th, 2014  
@shepherdmanswife for your sake I hope it happens. I had overlooked the photo opportunities. Anything is better than what we are getting at the moment

Its a funny word, catkins, isn't it! But they are definitely known all round the world. Nicely taken!
January 28th, 2014  
Excellent dof.

I've never seen a catkin before today.
January 28th, 2014  
Nice spot ,and I'm in awe of your 'eye' that knew that they would make a great shot... and how to shoot it. You know your business lady!
