Light... as a Feather

Pampas Grass, Patriot's Point, Mt. Pleasant, SC  © Doug Hickok


A cluster of pampas grass is highlighted by morning sun.
This tall ornamental grass from Argentina reminds me of ostrich feathers ready to be made into old fashioned ladies' hats.

  9. certainly one of the most attractive plants to decorate a park or a garden! having seen them in their native habitat, i can see that they are even more spectacular there!
    your image of them is magnificent, doug! the use of light - or backlight - and the soft bokeh around the palm trees is most captivating!
