Lets go hazel nuts, but not just yet

Lets go hazel nuts, but not just yet
My blogger buddy Lasse inspired me to take a few snaps of the hazel in my back garden. Zooming in on the male catkins with the pancake lens. No nuts for the squirrels just yet. Awful boring weather today. A few degrees warm but with a hint of rain from a very gray sky.

Jag var tvungen att kolla vad den lilla pannkakslinsen har för närgräns när jag såg din fina bild. 30 cm är ju riktigt bra och ger möjligheter till intressanta perspektiv.

Det jag gillar med din bild är det häftiga perspektivet snett nedifrån som avslöjar inte bara hängena utan även grenen de sitter på. Bra!

That's the good thing Steffe, no matter how bad the weather, if you have a camera and a good eye, there's always a shot to be found :) Fab macro here.

It certainly makes for a pretty photographic subject!

I miss your photos of pretty Swedish women. Much easier on the eyes than catkins.

Well done! You managed to wring some color from a very grey day.
