This is yellow foxtail (Setaria glauca), a grass whose golden bristles give it a glow, as though it comes with its own backlight.
“All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.”
You’ve probably seen plantain, a not particularly attractive lawn weed, and not given it much thought.
Think again. It’s flowering.
Proof that even the “blegh” species are anything but.
A grasshopper and I spied on each other.
Finally, s/he emerged, just a little.
Strange things comprise a meadow: check out this sedge, Carex flava.
It’s both bulgy, AND spiky!
Or how about a sweet spider, watching me photograph her at home in the barberpole sedge (Scirpus rubrotinctus)?
I couldn’t get my trusty point-and-shoot to focus on her eyes, even though she apparently has plenty to choose from.
