alder tree catkins
hanging in the frigid air
really caught my eye 🦊❤️
As I walked with my necked tucked in as tight as possible to stay warm in the freezing wind my eye was captured by little red “tassels” hanging from a scraggly Alder tree. I untucked my neck to look closer. It wasn’t so much what they looked like individually, it’s how they filled the air in front of my eyes. Bigger close to me and very small far away from me. It is a wonderful experience when the “ordinary” magically becomes “extraordinary” out of thin air. And by the way, the red tassels are called “catkin”. 🦊❤️
