The only "snow" we hope to see this year

O.K. are you ready for this! Cottonwood trees are actually Populus Freemontii. You know I had to get on the Internet for this one. In places, it really did look like snow and it was all over the place. The tree, said the Internet, is 40-80' high, grows in wet soil (this was along the Eric Canal and I took the picture with my cell phone -- I don't download that a lot, so this is catch up), the cotton masses are easily airborne and I found it interesting and hope you will too :-)
