Waving in the breeze


This delicate grass grows along a busy road over in Illinois....in some stretches it is a long stretch of it and in the right light it is gorgeous.  But I have never been able to take a pick of it.  At the most, it most it is about 10 inches tall.  This was at the strip pit area...it is just here and there out there.

I think these are called Foxtails, at least that what they are referred to around here. They do make beautiful pictures.

Something so simple, yet so beautiful!

It is so beautiful! This shot would make lovely wallpaper, don't you think. I mean wallpaper on walls, not your computer background. Maybe in a dining room or bathroom.

I have never seen grass like that before. It's really pretty. It reminds me of feathers.

A beautiful image. I love the soft colors. That grass is magnificent. It is so delicate. I love the feathery detail and how it fans out.

Lovely image. I remember years ago seeing some grass like this in Alaska but it was a maroon color. I could never capture how it looked in the sun. Good work.

ROSE! This is so BEAUTIFUL! Oh my, you can sell this shot to Microsoft or Apple as it would be an amazing default wallpaper for their screens! I love it so much! At first I thought it was a bird's feather but then seeing the leaves, wow!

It's gorgeous Rose, you took a really beautiful photograph. So many things in nature that's for sure, and it is lovely when you can capture them just like you did in this one.
