Snowing Cotton
Over the past couple of weeks it has been snowing cotton! The cottonwood trees are releasing an unbelievable amount of seed into the air! It is pretty to look at but talk about allergies! I thought I would share a bit of our cotton snow storm with you. In the first photo you can actually see some of the cotton falling. Oh, and another point of interest, I took these photos at 11:30 pm on an overcast day. Just to give you an idea of the daylight.

We had the same issue a couple months ago. I used to think Cotton Wood trees were beautiful. The last two years I have had to live with one nearby and my allergies were miserable. And the white cotton clogged up our air conditioner! They are amazingly prolific trees!

Looks like the remains of a huge pillow fight.
