AMERICAN GREY | l i g h t
At this time of year, my pine trees emit clouds of yellow-green pollen from the smaller cones which they exchange wind-borne among themselves while depositing much of it over our cars below. Washed into puddles by a rainstorm, though, it creates this wonderful artistic soup.

AFTERTHOUGHTS
I was being a little general in referring to ‘pine’ pollen here. The trees are Lebanon Cedars (part of the pine family) which pollinate around October/November in northern climes. I read somewhere that, in Texas, they issue daily pollen counts in early fall as huge clouds of cedar pollen particles came in from someplace. They sell a lotta anti-allergy stuff off that, I imagine.
