#131 - Catkins

I read a beautifully descriptive phrase today: "the...sheen that the world wears to the eyes of children..." (Elizabeth Goudge - The Valley of Song). 

I feel that I have recaptured some of that sheen for my own eyes in setting myself this year-long task. Walking round the very muddy park today I glanced up and the yellow catkins on the bare Hazels made me gasp. They are like a little promise of Spring. Just a hint, a trembling, yellow whisper of things to come.
