Cottonwoods

The parking lot at Headlands Beach State Park was situated in a cottonwood grove. The snow-like seeds were falling everywhere and piling up on the ground in drifts. Occasionally a gust of wind would swirl a clump of it up in the air in a small tornado. In places, the beach seemed to be crawling as the seeds were blown along the surface. We met some locals who said they’d never seen it like this.
