What is this?

I know what this is but for the life of me, I cannot think what it is for the life of me.

Edited to add:  Sea Oats!  That is what I have heard it called.  Thanks John and Sandra for the ID.

From today...

We were out on a mission today, but I had to pause to take a few pics of this plant.  Someone told me what it was and for the life of me I cannot remember the name...

I hope you don't mind the multiple images, even if they are almost alike.

And the wind never stops....

I don't know about where you live, but around here the wind very seldom completely stops...if ever.
These are a couple attempts of the grasses/hay growing at the strip pits.
I don't think I had ever noticed the little flowers before...amazing what trying to zoom in close will teach us.
