IT'S COMING!

...Spring, that is. I was out in the fields today photographing more of my beloved 'dead things' when I noticed that not everything was dead and dying any more.  I saw these beautiful buds looking so hopeful and ready to go that my heart leapt and I began to look for more signs of approaching spring...

and saw these beautiful catkins (or at least I think they're catkins!) ...

and these buds reaching for the sky which, for the first time for weeks, was blue.
