So,I *took* the photos on #MonochromeMonday lol..I hadn't checked on #aspen #catkins for a couple of weeks- just emerging last time I looked; I knew the cool/snowy weather we had would keep them in suspended animation. It's been warmer for the last week though, a few days into the mid teens C/ even near 20C/68F, so I wondered if they'd matured. Nope! Farther along but still not fully extended/open.. soon though..

A black and white image of fuzzy poplar catkins on an overcast afternoon. There are several clusters of catkins at the tips of knobby twigs, and they are only partly emerged from their shiny sticky bud cases, looking silver white almost like pussywillows at this stage before they elongate. The background is muted blurred grey with several blurred dark twigs criss-crossing in various directions, giving an almost geometric pattern. One set of crossing twigs to the right looks like a stick thin figure dancing with one leg positioned with the foot on the ground, the other leg up at nearly right angles, the long arms mirroring this position with the torso nearly horizontal and dark head partly out of frame to the right. A spring forest spirit dancing in the trees and trying to hide from view among the twigs?

Aspen (populus tremula) eyes.

No wonder this tree was considered sacred in folklore: "When the aspen whispers, you can hear the dead speak."

It's one of my favourite trees. It whispers in the wind, it looks hauntedly beautiful in the winter. It feels calming.

This one grows near our home next to a parking lot which is why it's lower branches have been pruned. It then forms these eyes in those spots, pretty amazing.

A silvery aspen trunk with osiris looking shapes on it that look like eyes.

After some very busy weeks, I am slowly but surely winding down. It's time to look back on last year en enjoy some of the achievements. And what really makes me happy is that we have planted 100 trees in the Menstrie Valley, on the foot of Dumyat, my former local hill! I can't wait to go and see them early next year!
