Beautiful Tree Seeds

I found a bunch of small trees which were covered with these beautiful tassels of seeds. I loved the texture and two-tone of black and cream. I was happy to get so many that were crisp, a surprise because it was quite breezy on the river and these tassels waved merrily back and forth, shimmering in the late afternoon sun. I got pictures with various backgrounds: clear blue sky, seed tassels in various bokeh, and this tree in various bokehs. I asked Steve to help me pick and he liked this one the most. I hope you like it! :)
