Well, it is that time of year where the Cottonwoods are shedding their cotton. While we have less cotton this year since we cut down our HUGE Cottonwood Tree last fall, there are plenty of Cottonwood Trees around to fill the gap. Here's a shot of one now...
This is the stump from our old Cottonwood Tree, if you look closely, you can see all of the cotton sitting on the mulch around the stump. That mulch is typically solid black.
In this shot of the yard, you can see the cotton all over the grass. In some parts of the yard, it actually looks like snow there is so much cotton.
Our one iris bud that turned into an actual flower -- you can see the cotton on it too.
And this is not a blurry photo, it is focused on the cotton floating in the air and not the background.
Here are some shots of our Thimbleberry bush; no berries yet, but there is a ton of cotton all over the bush.
This is a cool shot of another stump we have in the backyard. It is actually the root of one of the stumps.
The backyard is coming together and looking quite nice these days!
Indy on the deck watching her backyard (you can see all of the cotton surrounding her).
Kristina's lavender is looking quite good -- and the bees are REALLY enjoying it.
