That's a very nice shot!

Thank you, guys

Bob, TF is of course right, it's my beloved "Beercan", the lens with best bokeh of all

Loupey, how spring coming along in your neck of the woods?

Mette, you have increased my vocabulary.
I had to look up catkin. Now I still don't know if this is a catkin or a bud in the picture with the blossom.
This is a sun rose. The petals only last a few hours then they drop.

Gorgeeous images, Norris Again, sorry for not replying earlier...

I think what you have there is buds - I think catkin is only used for certain tree species? I'm not certain of the exact definitions!
