Loblolly Pines are prolific pollen producers. For a few weeks in April, landscapes, patios and porches, cars, waterways and lakes sport golden hues. Airborne pollen mingled with humid spring air scatters sunlight to create milky skies for days on end.
To some said happenings are annoying and serve as conversation fodder, while other embrace them as welcome harbingers of spring. Last night rainstorms give brief reprieve as downpours cleanse woodland habitats and city neighborhoods, leaving in their wake gold-tinged rivulets of runoff—reminders that in time this too shall pass.
