Photo: Yellow waves over Lake Pend Oreille

Wind blows pine pollen into waves of yellow on Lake Pend Oreille on May 30, 2017. (Mary Franzel)

LAKES — The ocean has red tide, and Lake Pend Oreille has yellow waves of pine pollen.

Mary Franzel of the Friends of the Scotchman Peaks Wilderness snapped this photo during a flight along the lake and caught the massive bands of pollen formed by the wind.

No sneezing apparently, but I heard reports of fish with watering eyes.
