Alaska is full of sweet smelling cottonwood trees. In July, when the cotton starts coming off it makes it look like it is snowing as the cotton floats around. When I was first moving to Anchorage, Alaska in 2000, I remember smelling the cottonwood trees for the first time and thinking that the air smelled so sweet and wondering what it was from. Now that I live in Southeast Alaska, I enjoy about three month time frame of the sweet smell. Cottonwood trees are always a sign of water, since they like to have their feet wet (as a botanist would say). Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of this but you can always Google this.
