Ah yes, reminds me of the foxtail barley we have over in the Okanogan Highlands, along the lakeshore of Sidley Lake. You identified them for me, Daniel. Many thanks!!

Elaine Chrysler commented:

the first picture is so beautiful. it would be fantastic up on the wall.

Maureen commented:

beautiful photos, Anne and Stephen! I am so in love with grasses -- have been for 30 years or longer. I'm really glad ornamental grasses are becoming so popular in landscaping. They look exquisite in the different qualities of light during a day.
