Winter grasses
Encounters with grasses, mostly in January:
In the first two, I used the light coming though trees in late afternoon. The second image, of little bluestem, had a bit of sunset light. The remaining two are also little bluestem, with no seeds left. The last one has our only snow so far – but by the end of the day tomorrow we may get two feet, if the predictions are right.

I saw the weather forecast. What a great chance for snow and ice pictures. Enjoy it.
Saturday is the snow day, I’ll probably be shoveling. But Sunday morning should be good for ice crystals as well as snow. There have already been some good ice days – I’m looking forward to Sunday.
Like Steve, I saw your forecast, but my first thought was, “I’d better get over there and leave him a comment before his power goes out!” I hope that doesn’t happen, and I’m just a tiny bit envious. I remember those good, old-fashioned blizzards, and how much we enjoyed them — at least until it was time to shovel.
I like the set of photos. The variation in color is great, and the order in which you’ve arranged them is just how I would have done it. I can’t remember ever seeing photos of little bluestem sans seeds; these are more attractive than I would have imagined.
I hope the power doesn’t go out! The snow has just started as I write, but there won’t be heavy snowfall until tomorrow.
Thanks for the kind words about the images – I like the waving grasses with the snow background.
