Cattails at Font Lake by taffy

Cattails at Font Lake

Our visiting friends and I took their two dogs for a walk near Donegal Bay. This is the next bay over, accessible by a very bumpy dirt road short cut. We hiked the Hidden Valley Road trail for a bit, then turned onto the Font Lake trail. I took several photos of various mushrooms and other fungi, but this was my favorite. Taken late afternoon, processed in Aperture to create an image using a single color family. In my extras album is a context shot showing both the broader scene and the more accurate portrayal of the color ( http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2013-07-30).
Lovely capture, I love the colours and tones. FAV

Beautiful tones - this is lovely! I took an almost identical shot yesterday but it was earlier in the day so the light is completely different.

@june I wonder if bullrushes and cattails are different names for the same thing, or are actually two different versions of these kind of grasses?
