We have studied spicules observed at the northern solar limb by using simultaneous high resolution image sequences. The images were obtained by Hinode/SOT (in the Ca II H passband) and TRACE (in the 1600 Å passband) during a coordinated campaign. Both data sets were reduced and then carefully co-aligned in order to compare the observed patterns in this highly dynamic region of the Sun. The identification of individual structures in both spectral bands allows us to trace their spatial and temporal behaviour. Persistent intensity variations at certain locations, indicate that at least some spicules have a recurrent behavior. Using wavelet analysis we investigate oscillatory phenomena along the axis of off-limb spicules and we construct 2-D maps of the solar limb with the observed oscillations.
