Kapok / duldol

I couldn't resist not taking pictures of the duldol (Ceiba pentandra) by the roadside near the Polomolok–General Santos border before local authorities decide to cut them them, like what they did to the towering, decades-old trees in General Santos City, Polomolok, and, more recently, Tupi towns, all because of road-widening. The trees are in bloom now. From afar, the leaves look like they are peppered with snow. Or dandruff.
