Any ideas?

Easter Sunday dawned dry and sunny if a tad cold so I hope it has been as good with you.

Can you guess what this blip is? Stars for the first correct answer.

The dogs enjoyed a holiday romp with young Brodie and cara in particular was in flirtatious mode. Towards the end of the walk the three of them disappeared for ages and when we found them Bruce was up to his armpits in a rabbit burrow while Cara and Brodie were standing guard ready to catch any escapee Easter Bunny. As a result Bruce ended up in the Belfast sink again while I had to clean Cara with bowls of soapy water - washing my floor came next!

PS. Correctly guessed as the embryonic larch cone - now part of a larch cone series.
