Dewy  by myautofocuslife

Dewy

Spotted the gazillion dewdrops on the grass and realized I couldn't resist taking a few shots. The morning light was beautiful.

This is Elephant Grass. It's a tall, tufted grass that can grow to 3m (10ft) or more. I took this shot at eye level, so the grass was about my height. I'm only about 1.65m (about 5'4"). Elephant grass isn't native. It was introduced from Africa. Now it grows wild in nature parks and open places.

There is a larger version if you'd like to see details. 8)

Awesome shot

I love how you got it so spotlit against a black background. It isn't native here either but now grows everywhere. Especially hills that had been logged.
