I was lazier, stayed on top of the bank, and just pulled aside the branches to get a bud.

I'm still processing photos from that walk. And I should be in bed.
The cottonwoods where I live had a very sparse year seed-wise. I can remember having to sweep the stuff up with a broom.
ReplyDeleteThe Russian word for cottonwood fluff is "pookh", which I think sounds exactly like the sound you make if you happen to get it in your mouth.
I admire Laurie's skill; when I do some similar maneuver I inevitably end up in the water.
"Pookh"! I like that.
ReplyDeleteLaurie was pleased with your comment. I've never seen him fall in the water, although a few times I was sure he would. And once he dropped me in the creek. Good thing it was a hot day.
I think I prefer your image, to be honest... No need to explain that the background is scum...
ReplyDeleteJudy, But ... scum is good! (Most of the time.) I mentioned it as an explanation for the colour.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, thanks for the comment on my photo. I liked it, but almost didn't include it, because it was so sparse.
