Snow in North Carolina - just kidding! by homeschoolmom

Snow in North Carolina - just kidding!

But, if you squint, it kind of looks like snow laying in the fields. But, it's really cotton, ready to be picked (and it's still 80 degrees during the day). For today's Six Word story!
Here's a link to the other shot I took today. I used it as filler in July. http://365project.org/homeschoolmom/favorites/2014-07-20
Beautiful. Makes for a carpet of white. I never saw anything like this.

Was going to say, not yet, but they are calling for a chance of snow showers here this weekend. I hope not
October 28th, 2014  
Magical! White everywhere!
October 28th, 2014  
So pretty! Great shot!

@sangwann This is a first for me too. It's quite amazing to see.
@peonylane @lynnilou @eyeamlisa Thanks!
@digitalrn Last year in NH, we had our first snow flurries this early. I'm not ready for that either. I prefer this nice warm fall.

This is beautiful, Lisa, and it does look a little like snow. What a beautiful field of flowers.

@mittens Thanks. I had no idea cotton looked like this before it was picked.
October 28th, 2014  
@homeschoolmom Oops, I should have read your explanation. I didn't realize it was cotton. Very cool.
October 28th, 2014  
@mittens It does look like a flower when the bolls open!
October 28th, 2014  
call in the snowplows! ;-) love the pov here Lisa

I really love the way the cotton shows up so well in the shadowy back part of the photo.

@pflaume They are quite amazing.
@debihas27 LOL! I'm not ready for that either. Although last year we were in New Hampshire and it was already very cold by this time, and we had occasional snow flurries already. YUCK!
October 29th, 2014

October 29th, 2014  
Nice capture and I like the sunlight and shadows.

we're expecting snow on friday :-( but if the landscape looks nice, i'll take it. i don't thinker i've ever seen cotton before. i've worn them though. ;-) did you get close?
October 29th, 2014  
@jaynspain @quietpurplehaze Thanks!
@summerfield It's actually supposed to be kind of cold here this weekend, too. And, yes, I walked right up to this field. I even touched the cotton. Feels just like a cotton ball! LOL!
October 30th, 2014  
Wow, that looks fab, I've yet to see cotton growing first hand.
October 30th, 2014  
@pixiemac It's pretty cool to watch it grow, bloom and turn to a field of white. It's been fun photographing the changes.

Jo
That's really cool. I've never seen cotton 'in the wild' - it kind of does look like snow.

@joeymc It's every where here. It's been fun to watch it change through the seasons.
