Thank you, LucindaWestwood.
It was way up and I could not take a picture, when I softly touched it...it just drop and play dead...

It was so fluffy it shed all over, you can see it in picture # 2.... : )

Thank you, suzmonk

Thank you, Mark Ridgway. As white as it is, it needs big shades to go on holiday.... : )
