It 'snowed' last spring

Walking by the lake, under the willows
for a moment I thought it is snowing.

It was early spring and starting to turn warm. Gentle breeze caresses willows by the Da Ming Lake in Jinan, Shandong.



As I walked further down by the lake, I started to notice strange little white specks in the air. It looked almost as if it was snowing, a surreal sight in the midst of greeneries and warm sun.


These are actually the seeds of willows, that get carried away by wind every March or April. Though a lovely sight for the eyes, we had to try hard not to breath these in. I guess the park seemed to be rather quiet as locals are avoiding outdoors during this time of the year.
