Out like a lion

A bit late loading this up as we've just got power back after 30hrs off grid due to the late blizzard. I wasnt here when it "came in" but March certainly went out like a lion in Aberdeenshire this year. This catkin on my contorted hazel (aka Harry Lauder's Walking Stick) was plastered with snow in the morning and made a nice close up shot for my last blip of March 2010.
