Next year's walnuts

Thanks so much for all your words and stars last night...all very much appreciated for my emergency blip.
A stroll around the garden this evening revealed a much refreshed plot from the 21 mls of rain yesterday and probably half that again this evening with more thunder and lightening.
We crop many large buckets of walnuts from our tree each year and these pretty panicled flowers are the first promise of next year's harvest.
