Taraxacum officinale
The common dandelion is well known for its yellow flower heads that turn into round balls of many silver-tufted fruits that disperse in the wind. These balls are called "clocks" in both British and American English.

It was just below freezing so not all that cold but I guess this White-breasted Nuthatch wanted to fluff-up anyway.
NS I78 enters Suffolk VA with a very long train of intermodal heading to portlock yard with two BNSF gevos and a UP gevo trailing. Goodness the foreign power has been awesome recently, you would think we were in Iowa lol. This train did put a smile on my face. i love my NS but to see a train with no black and white was a nice change of paces. I did plan on catching this in Downtown Suffolk but ended up checking google maps and wanted to go for a shot. Half way to the spot, i realized that i would be shotting completed backlit. It was to late for me to turn back so i had to make it work. I end up walking down a little on the lit side and ended shotting next to a farmers cotton felid and sitting on a stick of wood to get some height. I ended up puling this off and I'm super happy with it. It may still just be a wedge shot but I'm still pleased with the results
The entire Puget Sound was engulfed in rolling fog on Sunday! I opted to get high and go to the golf course. Tee off wasn't bad but once the sun hit them hills it was bliss. And a massive shoutout to my buddy Brendan for suggesting the spot!
Valentino the Kookaburra was looking after Ernie, today again. So, he sat on the neighbours roof and followed his grandson's every move around our garden.
People may say seagulls are vermin and destructive, but that is hypocrisy. People excuse themselves for the trees they felled, the water they waste, and the habitat they stole from animals, then complain when a seagull steals their burger. Seagulls are no less of a nuisance than we are. Seagulls are simply strong, adaptable creatures that are sharing their homes with us.

Senecio Vulgaris or Common Groundse (wiki)
I posted the same plant a couple of days ago. There were no fluffy stuff, just flowers (buds?) then. Yesterday I saw some fluffs like dandelion seeds. Still not sure what sort of weeds.
My kind friend, PokemonaDeChroma, suggested that's "pollen bag". I thought "pollen bag" was a flower name and searched for the images.... not really flowers but some yellow handbags came out. I thought, Oh my, they're not my tastes. I am a bit too old for yellows 😂
Last one was macro. This one is not. 250mm zoom lens. I went out for birds... then only ended up seeing a funny cuckoo baby.
Love how the late evening sun spotlights the white layer of fluff on the slough and also floating in the air. Just click the image to see it.
"Poplar trees produce their seeds in catkins, which hang unpollinated on the trees in early spring. Once they are pollinated, green seed capsules form, and when they break open the seeds are released, each carried by a tiny parachute of fluff. This is what you see stuck in the tree, floating through the air, or lying on the ground.
Sometimes the fluff accumulates on the ground so thickly that it looks like snow! [...]." The Furry Gnome
