Signs of spring

Catkin is it in English? In Finnish it's "Willow's Cat". Anyway we usually see these around April, but as we have established our spring is about 1,5 months early. I took lots of pictures of droplets on catkin but for some reason liked this the best. I like how the catkin mixes into the light. 

Otherwise all the greyness and rain continues. Today we even got some snow but it was very wet and melted away in an hour. That's why some of the drops are huge... 

Nelson has his eye specialist this evening. Again his eye is better on the day he has the appointment. But there's something definitely wrong since it's been bothering him on and off for about a month now.
