For Foofy Friday. Hope you enjoy :-)

-Quote from Wikipedia- Eriophorum (Cottongrass, Cotton-grass or Cottonsedge) is a genus of about 25 species of flowering plants in the family Cyperaceae, the Sedge family. They are found throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere in acid bog habitats, being particularly abundant in Arctic tundra regions.

Good clarity and the cotton grass stands out well against the blurred background.

They look like miniature dusters. I bet you could use them for cleaning out in between the keys of the keyboard. LOL. Very nice foofy, Susanne. Very well focused, and the background is superb.

They do look like balls of cotton Susanne. The blurred background is perfect for this post. Excellent work.
