PICTURE OF THE MORNING

It's going to be one of those days. I have never seen the pollen from the Ashe juniper let go so early in the morning in such huge clouds. I was outside at 9am when it began and with each puff of wind the air just filled with pollen. You could see it in the air as a fine mist. You should have heard the oohs and ahhs- it was as good as a firework display.

We are not going to let it spoil our walk around the lake, although we will pay the price.

That is AMAZING! I think our native Oneseed Juniper is about to release, though nothing of that quantity or intensity, I hope.

My nose twitches in sympathy as I hide inside and look out the windows.

What a sight ... how wonderful you could capture it with your camera! I can only imagine how terrific it must have been in reality.

Wow! I've never seen that before (or didn't realize what I was seeing is probably closer to the mark!) Hope you enjoyed your walk.

At first I thought it was a picture of morning fog. It's not. Scary!

Wow. I've never seen that in person. I'm not complaining about that, though. Just as soon not see it.
It's amazing.

Ugh, ugh, ugh - that is one thing I don't miss about Austin! I remember days like that well.
Say, I saw you're going to Seattle Fling and so am I! Can't wait to meet you in person.
