Shaken Pollen?

Posted by

Pollen spotted on the petals of crocus flowers. Weather was not cooperative to capture photos of crocuses this year. The weather was rather cold, overcast and/or windy.

Your weather sounds like ours, Steven, but the spring flowers, like yours, are everywhere now. Like the pollen touch

I think I never saw that much of pollen on petals, Steve. I have seen many crocuses over the years. What a bright and sunny day you picked. We are still with dark and rain and wind.
Have a good week.

It certainly looks like something was shaking off the pollen. These flowers are just gorgeous. Beautifully photographed. I love the color and detail. 5*

These flowers look wonderful and I like the bright and vibrant colours. Detached pollen adds a bit of great texture as well.
