Pink Cloud

I was stopped at a traffic light, waiting to turn left when I saw this in a vacant lot immediately on my right. Did I go around the block? Of course not. There wasn't anybody in the right turn lane and nobody coming from behind, so I hauled over on the wheel and used my SUV's SUVness to bounce into the lot, to the chagrin of the Missus. But this had to photographed.

I have no idea why these now-dormant grasses appeared pink - likely the way the light was refracting through the dew. Up close, the stalks were just tan and there was nothing around that was pink or red to lend a cast. Whatever it was, I'm glad I could capture it! I'm also glad that the Missus is a good sport who loves me and puts up with my impetuousness and photo impulses.

Very pretty grasses. I’m glad your wife goes along. I was chasing a sunset last night when I told my husband I was going to go past our neighborhood. He said, “I knew you were going to do that before you said it!”.
