And here is what a tree looks like once the pollen cones have burst:
I LOVE YELLOW!!!!
Moving on, folks.
Wandering outside with my camera in hand in the hopes of providing the best representation of the demonic fertilization technique through photographic example possible, my neighbor and kindred spirit, Magillicutty, threw open her screened door and beckoned me across the street with an ice cold beer. How does one resist that kind of temptation?
Cold beer in hand, I explained to my friend the photos I was in the process of putting together to include on my blog. “No problem! Just snap a couple of pictures here on my screened in porch and then we’ll have another cold one!”
Well okay then, buddy, consider it done!
Here we see Magill’s antique bureau. Note the circle in the bottom left-hand corner; that is where her coasters normally reside. I removed them to show you the effects on non-human entities as well. Isn’t that an exquisite shade of sulfur?
Here we have an example of a “butt print”. Thank goodness pollen washes out easily!
My plants at home look just a yummy and they’re not even outside!
And here we have my car. I love my car. I love my car so much I named him. His name is Gawaine. Gawaine looks like he needs a bath. But wait, he received one an hour before this picture was taken in the hopes of looking his best. ONE HOUR! (You can even see where the pollen dried with the droplets of water left over from his rinsing.)
Yes this is why I love springtime. Not the lovely flowers you catch glimpses of in the background of the photos above. Not the sunshine and lazy days we take advantage of every weekend. It’s the pollen; the repugnance that arises like the sun at dawn. The joy of Swifer as the cost of their stock continues to rise. It’s not love in our air, friends….it’s pollen.

I can definitely see why you hate pollen so much. Loblolly Pine pollen cones are definitely Satan's Minions...lol
I'll trade you the Loblolly Pines in your yard for the snow in mine?
You poor, poor girl! you have my complete and total sympathy. If the mess was the only problem this caused that would bemore than enough. I am not looking foreward to the allergies. You take wonderful pictures by the way.
