Wonderful furry little harbingers of spring are these catkins. They were backlit by the setting sun and I loved the way they looked all aglow. It seems that the name catkin comes from an old Dutch word meaning 'kitten' as they look like a kitten's tail. That works for me. Happy Spring everyone!
I was glad that I had my camera with me on our evening walk that day.

+Ronald Davis – so many plants have some kinds of burrs that use little hooks to get moved around. These are on small trees, willows, and they don't have hooks on the ends. They would blow in the wind, I imagine.
Thanks a lot +Sumit Sen

They look so attractive for the spring
Wonderful plants.

This plant looks a lot like what we call a "cuckleberry weed that grows in cotton fields with the cotton plants in NC. By harvest time if you walk through a cotton field your clothes will become wrapped up with cuckleberries…
I love this kind of light! This is a gorgeous image! :o)
