a new life beginning

sooc One of the native grasses on my property, so important for the entire ecosystem here - Imperata cylindrica. I have found that the self sown trees reproduce really well in areas this grass dominates.

Wonderful focus and dof. Have you textured the background, it looks fabulous.

Lovely choice of DOF highlights the detail in the grass and blurs the background. Do you think the grass in some way prepares the soil to better receive the tree seeds?

Fascinating! Plants are so complex

I like the texture of that grass- it looks soft like the dandelions but strong like the reeds. Good shot!

I haven't seen this one here...beautiful close up...there are so many grasses surrounding our three lakes.

It looks a really tough tall grass!
