Hi Folks,
After several suggestions that the flying fluffy creatures were
Cottonwood seeds, I compared the online photos of Cottonwood seeds with
what I saw, and there were subtle differences. So, a few minutes ago, I
grabbed one as it flew by me. While the white fibers were almost
invisible in my hand, at the center was a squirming black insect
resembling a tiny "sugar ant". I continue to search online, but have
found nothing. Here is the originally posted image. If anyone has a
tip, please let me know.

These flying creatures which resemble dandelion fuzz fly about with
the Woolly Aphids. Unable to focus on one in the air, I followed this
one until it landed in the grass. An online search failed to get an ID.

Both of these can be viewed LARGE.
Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
