It is their time to make cotton fluff.
For us this is fun because we just didn't have Cottonwood trees in Wisconsin where we both grew up. Just real snow. 😉

Cottonwood Fluff
[From Craig] Our last post was about snow in Rocky Mountain National Park. This one may look a little similar, but the images were shot in 90° F. Here at Riverview Park near Loveland CO, there are many cottonwood trees. I think cottonwood trees like riversides.

The fluff is very combustible. Drop a lit match into a pile and stand back.
ReplyDeleteAlso it is really good at plugging up your A/C evaporative coils. Enjoy!
Just looking at the pictures you would swear that there was Snow on the ground.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy the scenery.
It's about time.
I was going to mention cleaning out your a/c. I learned to hate cottonwood when we had a house and our neighbors had two trees.
ReplyDelete[From Craig] Fortunately, we were a row or two away from the main deluge of cottonwood fluff, where I took the pictures. Soon as we have some time, I will try vacuuming the screen that surrounds our A/C. Right now it's working OK in 98° F in Kearney NE.
