Letting go

I'm still fascinated with the milkweeds. The large seedpod swells until it finally bursts open, but the seeds are not quite ready to be released. Each row has a white layer of cotton that catches in the breeze, wrestling the seed from its home within the pod. Eventually it will pull away and work itself to the end of the ball of fluff. Another gust and it will be time to let go, to see what adventure lies ahead.
