“Hugs in light for all”
When I lived in Texas in the southern USA, I remember driving by cotton fields many times. After harvest, the remains almost looked like there had been snow!
Here you find cotton as a wild plant, it is very common to see it everywhere. In fact, I photographed this one on the edge of an avenue. Obviously, it needs a process to be used as we normally know it. It must be very exciting to watch a cotton farm where it looks like it's snowing.
