Growing cotton is a lot of work. With all the fields turning into housing developments, I am concerned about the future of cotton clothing. Of course, it is grown in the Middle East also, so I guess it will be just another necessary commodity we have to import. The short-sightedness of our society is so wonderful.

The cotton fields that once surrounded me are rapidly falling to the builders. So before these scenes are gone for good, I decided to do some recording. I love the seasons of cotton growing - the leveling, the building of burms, planting, watering up, shouldering, and finally that wonderful, white, fluffy harvest that covers the roads with a layer of fluff.

#1: A field nearly ready to start exfoliating in order to pick the cotton.

#2: Open bolls with flower still on the plant.

#3: Thought those of you who shoot in RAW would appreciate this pun. This is an unopened boll.

a beautiful cotton field sight...love these shots. i never picked cotton, but i spent 6 weeks one summer when i was a teen
chopping the weeds in my dad's cotton fields...from 6 to noon every day for 6 weeks i chopped thoses weeds to earn enough
money to buy a pair of cowboy boots to wear when i rode my horse. got paid the grand total of 50 cents an hour...lol. they were
white boots and i loved them.

I have never seen fields of cotton. Its a sad thought that they would be sacrificed to builders.

Nice capture and sure brings back memories of my travels following the Mississippi River and the the field of snow in the Summer time. ;-)

Nice scenes of cotton fields. There is still plenty of cotton in West Texas.
