cobalt<p>If you are somewhere the allergy season has started up, here's what I contend with in Phoenix this time of year. Both the palo verde and acacia trees have tiny yellow flowers that spread pollen. The one in the photo I linked to is actually palo verde. Got to get around to changing that ID in flickr from a photo I posted 15 years ago. If you spot one of these trees, drive away quickly! You know those yellow petals are going to end up blowing around in the air. Aaaaiieeee! <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Allergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Allergy</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Phoenix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Phoenix</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Acacia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Acacia</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Yellow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Yellow</span></a> <br><a href="https://flic.kr/p/nnwDUg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flic.kr/p/nnwDUg</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
