Pollen Overload

I just came back from our long morning walk, and it really struck me how much pollen is everywhere! The trees are really into overdrive right now, trying to compete for their propagation...

Ken has been sniffling a lot the last few days, he is one of the "lucky" people who are allergic to pollen. Though his allergies have improved immensely since we moved into this house and he started working in his own firm. We have no proof, but we are pretty sure his old job was in a mold infested building...

As you can see, our front yard is full of pollen. But lucky for us, we only have two kinds of pollen-producing trees on our yard, the Live Oak in the front, and another tree I am not sure what it is exactly in the back. Some places around here are covered in the powder-like pollen, our kind is big and not too bad.

This is how the side walk looks like...

And this is our lawn, you can barley see the grass in some places!

This is one of the culprits, our Live Oak in the front
