in the wind trap

There is a spot, in the backyard of my workplace, where a whirlwind tends to trap bits of paper and other windborne trash. The other morning, however, these feathery seeds had fallen in the wind trap and formed a beautifully textured mound of fluff.

PIP added: I added a PIP to show the b/w version, which, even with enhancements, looks drab and uninteresting in comparison to the color version. This surprised me and all I can figure is that the contrast between the warm furry seed heads and the cool white of their feathery tails adds an interesting element, which is missing in the monochrome.
