pollen

No, its not on fire.
With the sudden mild weather after such a long spell of cold, my Irish Yews have decided its spring, and the clouds of pollen today seem more impressive than usual.

 

it looks like it`s being surrounded by a spiritual entity.

 

I hadn't thought of that. :D
I suppose it does look a bit spooky.

 

So long as it doesn't start my hay-fever!!

 

That's an amazing picture Pete.

 

It is, isn't? I've never seen anything like it before.

 

While I was out in the woods on Sunday in the rain, there was a sudden gust of wind as I was walking down an avenue of yews - and suddenly the same thing happened!!! I couldn't believe it, as I'd just read this thread before going out! It was amazing - and, no, it didn't start off my hay-fever! :D
