Tumbletown

It seems that we have a lot more tumbleweeds around this year and they're extra big!  Some of them are as tall as me!  It's going to be interesting to see them tumbling around when the winds pick up!

I snapped a picture of some of them in a vacant field when hubby and I were out for a bike ride...

    I can't even imagine seeing them, here in humid Florida we do not have anything like that.
    It reminds me of cartoons.

    What a great picture of those tumbleweeds! It reminds me of the old western movies my husband loves to watch. Love it!

    Very cool. For some reason, I thought tumbleweeds were just a collection of material that gathered while tumbling along. Didn't realize they were an actual plant that detached and tumbled. :)

    In fact, I just read up on them. Very interesting indeed. :)

    Have a great weekend. Tammy

    Are they still attached to the ground in this picture?

    What an amazing photo! I remember living out West and having them blow across the road in front of you! Kind of scary sometimes! Enjoy your week! Hugs!
