Willow catkins aglow

For today's MonoMonday theme of 'rhymes with slow' with thanks to laurie54 for hosting MonoMonday in January.

These are catkins on a branch of Japanese fantail willow (salix udensis) that seem to light up through the stamens. In the latest spring bouquet.

Thanks so much for all the kind comments and stars for yesterday's cyclo-cross Blip and the AT239 results !
