"Dust in the wind" may be a favorite song of my hubby's. But, for the past few weeks around here in the south, we have been seeing dust in the wind! ...with the dreaded yellow dust and its covering of everything! Pine pollen. It's everywhere! During this time, relief comes in the form of rain, and it's wished for just about every day to wash it all away, if only for little while.
This stuff is an even more unwelcome site for those who have allergies. The overload of pine pollen makes it hard, to almost impossible, to go out and enjoy the warm springtime weather. It often looks like smoke in the air, with a wind gust.
The pine trees are covered with what looks like little yellow star bursts, and the pine pollen comes from these. Since the pollen covers everything outside, vehicles also have a dusting of yellow. Even if you keep your vehical in the garage, as we do. But once you're out driving it collects on your vehicle too. So, as I often say, "This too shall pass!" ...and pass it shall, it will then be only a memory...eventually!

A little closer view.
This was after rain washed some of it away!
After the rain and then dried on an outdoor chair.
This was on the concrete patio where some of the pollen had collected after the rain
and then dried. {Yuck!}
Cough-hack, sneeze-ah-choo!!...
