Cotton Boll

A few weeks ago I posted a cotton field ( http://365project.org/grammyn/365/2011-10-01) and was afraid it might be harvested before I got back from my trip. I was really happy to see the fields are still intact so I could get a close up of a cotton boll. When I took this I didn't see the morning dew on it which was a bonus for me

Love the dew capture on this. Interesting shot.

@debsphotos I am not from the south so this subject has fascinated me for years! It is really very remarkable to me.

Yes, this is the thing i've never seen!!!)) (I remember your field;) Looks so nice with the dew;) When i just opened your page my first-glance-impression was that it's a snowball (and i scared - already???!!!))))))
Thank you for showing this pretty thing!!

@nyusha This is pretty much the only kind of "snow" ball we get here. It does snow occasionally but usually only lasts for a day. I know that is quite different from what you are used to isn't it? I am so glad you liked it.

[Anna]

@grammyn You are just lucky you see snow only for a day - joy,admiration,fun,photos -and that's it)))) And we see it too a lot - from november to april, half of the year in snowdrifts,LOL))
I really liked your cotton, I've just even checked where we have cotton - not around Moscow, unfortunately, but too far away..)))

I see what you mean, Katy - dem cotton balls keep growing! The fluffy stuff in the middle looks just like the fluffy seedheads of the Japanese anemone!

@maggiemae The fluffy stuff does look very similar
