CATTAIL EXPLOSION
The cattails in my backyard are literally exploding their seed fluff into the air constantly. There are tufts and puffs of this feathery material on everything. Be sure to enlarge the picture to see the seed more clearly.
Awesome detail in today's picture. Well captured. Lots of those cattails thriving in the swampy areas beside the roads. In UK we used to call them bullrushes.
When I was a kid, we used to break up the cattails into a big giant pile of fluff... and wait for the school bus to run over them at the bus stop. The fluff would whirl around out the back window for miles. Great photo.
so fluffy and so unique...........and they look so much like a cat's tail !!!!
