The cause for all the "yellow dust"...

Pine tree pollen! It is everywhere causing everything to be covered with a gritty yellow dust. We've also had lots of rain this week in Alabama and the combination of yellow pollen and water produce yellow ringed puddles!

This is lovely, so sharp. How great that they produce a yellow world for a while! Fav.

Nice details on those little blue cones. I'm waiting for that pollen. Was thinking today it was almost time.

When I zoom in on the photo, I can see that they are just about ready to burst out, nice sharp focus.
