Catkins: The Quiet Bloomers

#photography #helios #helios44 #helios44m

Should see some pollen from the hazel trees in a week or so if it stays warm. The catkins are expanding fast. Last year there was pollen and bees gathering it for one day and then the wind blew about 50mph and no more pollen.

I would have missed it if not for my wife. #Photography #Photo #Fuji #FujiX#FujiFilm #XT30II #NaturePhotography #WaterDrops #Macro #catkins
