Pollen

The air is thick with it, the ponds covered in it.

In the dead calm, falling clumps of it have reminded me of jellyfish, gently drifting deeper in ocean waters. 

The other day, when the wind was strong, it looked like a blizzard outside the kitchen window. 

Today, when the breeze is soft and changeable, the pollen puts me more in the mind of an alien invasion.   Small bits of fluff fly in every direction as if animated by intelligent life--left right up down swirling back forth--even switching direction and hovering.  Their invasion looks rather chaotic, but I imagine they know what they are doing.   Several times, I have seen particular bits doubling back to reassess something.  Perhaps it is me, watching them through the window.

Seeing as how I don't feel willow pollen has a particular effect on my allergies, I observe them, too, amused and charmed, but not worried.

Around here, pollen covers everything in a coat of yellow.
