Ah yes, reminds me of the foxtail barley we have over in the Okanogan Highlands, along the lakeshore of Sidley Lake. You identified them for me, Daniel. Many thanks!!

beautiful photos, Anne and Stephen! I am so in love with grasses -- have been for 30 years or longer. I'm really glad ornamental grasses are becoming so popular in landscaping. They look exquisite in the different qualities of light during a day.
