Corylus americana - American Hazelnut - catkins

            I had hoped catch these in early flower with visible stamens, but spring has come in with such a rush this year.  I had to settle for a later stage of catkin development when time to photograph and a morning with no wind happened on the same day!  

The two different poses are the same set of catkins shot from opposite directions.  Those with the brown background had tree trunks and dead leaves on the ground as background color.  Those with the green background had a white pine tree in the background.  Which one do you prefer?
