Downed Things

After our spring snowstorm, I found these catkins that had obviously come down with the broken branches. But they still matured and over a week later released a lot of pollen!

Pine needles looking a little like droopy palms (to me!)


These are downed Maple buds, tightly packed.


But I'm glad to see that their efforts weren't wasted: a week later the flowers opened and shed pollen, despite the branches being detached from the main tree.


Some beautifully colored fungi - they look like corn kernels up close.
