Details:
I've seen coronae around the Moon and the Sun in airborne pollen many times before, but this is the first time I was able to see a faint corona caused by pine pollen that has settled on the surface of a pond on a calm, windless day. Moreover, hairy aspen tree seeds (you can see them floating in the air above the water) had landed on the surface too, producing an effect similar to the sun pillars normally caused by ice crystals.
