[Leica] Friday Flowers Aram

[Aram Langhans]

The neighbor's  hazelnut tree is springing forth with catkins. Here is a 
shot of the catkin (male flower) and the female flower. I have been 
wanting to take it for days but it has been so windy here it was 
impossible to catch the catkin steady enough for a shot until the other 
morning.  Taken with the 100APO, so view large.  It can take it.
