~~~Blown In The Wind~~~


I love the  Milkweed plant in bloom, podded , and when the pods burst and the seed heads are blown about!! It was a bumper crop in the field just down the road from me !!
One beautiful,sunny ,and very windy day I noticed the air full of  silky ,shimmering puffs piloting a tiny brown seeds  to fertile ground!!
Like a snow storm it was as I walked there to get these photo's!

    Well I took a few pictures of something very much like these while in Yosemite and now I know, it must have been milkweed. Thanks for learnin' me something. These are very nice.

    These are just fantastic.
    Glad to see you are over the worst of Mitt's demise. I doubt Bob Dylan was a Republican.....I may have a misguided opinion though.

    The best thing about blowing milkweed is that it looks beautiful and does NOT need to be shoveled, Grace.

    Gorgeous! The seedlings in the air remind me of a cherry blossom blizzard in the spring.
