Every year, the cottonwood trees around my house are pretty overwhelming.

But this year it's insane. Just insane. The little fluffies are inches deep everywhere.

Now I have an explanation.

The cottonwood trees start blowing their seeds a couple of days ago but it’s really coming down today. Video wouldn’t do it justice. The seeds look like light sparse snowflakes riding on air. Drifts are forming and there will be tiny seedlings everywhere by fall.

This is probably the type of cottonwood we have locally:

Without a size reference It's often hard to visualize how big some of Cottonwood trees really are. These two Canada Geese are trying to land on a growth halfway up a tree - although it was too small to provide footing for more than one of them.

It is cold and the snow is deep in Minnesota this week.

To the right of the that thinks it’s an oak tree is a long planting on the lakes edge. I intended to some spring overseeding on this visit. Nope. Not going to happen.

Something closer to home from many, many moons ago...

It's been a while since I've been here... it's saddening to view the effects of overuse.

An opportunity arose for :

“But now, because Chinook, steelhead and trout are listed under the Endangered Species Act, the Bonneville Power Administration is trying to rebuild using revenue from electricity generation.

With help from the Trout Unlimited, Wilson won a $1.2 million BPA grant to restore his three-quarter mile stretch of river.

In the summer of 2022, crews placed 475 trees, many complete with massive root wads, in the channel to slow water down and spread it out. They built 54 artificial dams to hold water in the floodplain and create lots of little stillwater pools. And they planted , and trees for shade.”

@urbandata it's absolutely infuriating to me to watch developers in Denver cut down all of the native cottonwood trees, build a building and them plant red maples KNOWING that 50% minimum will dies in a few years. Over and over these idiots do exactly the same thing planting non-native trees that can't deal with the temperature fluctuations because they are cheap and the developers don't care that they'll die.

TBT: It was January 2013 when Matthew and I came across a beautiful golden cottonwood just as the sun was emerging from the clouds.

I'll never forget that morning with him and that tree.
