Winter Grasses

Winter GrassesSometimes in winter it’s tough for me to find things to photograph.  I get stuck in a rut, thinking that everything is dank and gloomy.  Especially around home, where I normally photography the gardens, animals, lovely sunrises and flowers.

Sometimes the interesting stuff isn’t necessarily the brightest or prettiest though.

These grasses shoot up each spring and summer around the wetlands near home.  In autumn they start to brown off.  Come winter, the seed heads are reaching for the grey sky.

While they aren’t attractive in a  flower garden sense, they have their own beauty.

It’s a beautiful shot! I am loving the Autumn photography here in Scotland, the light is soooo soft it feels like 3pm all day. You are so right Winter brings its own beauty. Thanks ;)

Beautiful picture. I didn’t notice how beautiful grass was until I seen this post about winter grass. I didn’t even know there was winter grass and there are lots of types. http://yovia.com/blogs/gardenstate/2009/10/29/winter-grass/ This was some of the pretty grass I ever seen.
