Allergies?

I post this photo not because it's good, but because it's incredible. I've been photographing weeds and I noticed, after I bumped one, the substantial shower of pollen that came down. So, during a 1/25-second exposure, I shook two stems of weeds and captured the pollen fallout. No, nothing's in focus, but man, check out the pollen! Now I see how people who are allergic to this stuff are made miserable. Luckily I'm immune, because I now have a little studio that's packed with pollen. ©Carol Leigh
