Pollen

The only good thing about all this rain we've been having lately is the fact that it is washing all the pollen out of the air and trees. The rains have been steady and hard for several days now. I've been noticing the yellow powder of pollen on the lake edges but tonight we noticed a rather large area of pollen and the ducks were swimming around in it making tracks. I grabbed the camera and took the photo below. If you look closely you will see the large area of pollen on the water (it looks white in the photo but it is actually yellow) and the little dark dots are the ducks swimming and making swirls. Pretty neat. No end in site for the rains.
