Pollen Pattern

Since when does May bring showers? Oh yeah, since global warming, I guess. I've been told I'm too old to use this qualifier, but I have to say it: raincoats are sweet. Especially the iconic yellow ones.

Here's a psychedelic pattern made by pollen floating on the water pocked with raindrops, one of the few upsides to the particles I've come across. I wonder what happens to it when the watershed bleeds it into the lakes, rivers and oceans. Do fish eat it? Bacteria? Can we use it as biofuel? I saw lots of it running by on the rivulets Sunday, just as bright as the raincoats, but a little more greenish.
