I’m going through old files, preparing a new computer, where I ran across this 2013 picture of a Blue Gramma (Bouteloua gracilis) seed head with ripening seeds still attached. In the short grass prairies this grass grows to about 9 - 12 inches tall, which is shorter than many of the other short grass species, so you need to get down and look carefully to find the seed heads.

I love this, Mark. Great detail in the seed heads. I am not familiar with this grass, but I think you did a wonderful job presenting it to those of us who didn’t even know it existed. I may have walked right through some of it before. We miss so much of our world (especially the tiny and insignificant things).
Mark: Good find and a fine capture. I especially like your DOF management and the BG. Looks like pennants in the wind.

I like the subject, Mark, particularly the upper seed head. The up-down, left-right composition doesn’t work so well for me however. My eye has a hard time moving through the image. I’m thinking just the upper part of the stem and flowering seed head would make a more interesting comp, but that’s just my point of view.
Nice little subject and a nice comp of such a simple plant.
