The meadow and the light
Some views of a winter meadow in changing light:
All of the images are of switch grass (probably Panicum virgatum). It’s a tall grass, with a tree-like inflorescence at the top and curving ribbon-like foliage below. The first image is in the low contrast, diffuse light I often use.
The other images were taken on a different day in a sequence, showing the changing light near sunset. In the second image, the light is at my back, there’s a lot of contrast with the shadowy background. In the third image, contrast is greater and color of light has changed.
Then I turned around and saw why the contrast and color had changed. The sun was setting quickly. The last two show the grasses silhouetted against the sunset sky.

I like those dark undulating “ribbons” across the bottom of the final picture.
In most of these, I was trying to fill the frame with the tree-like fruiting parts of the switchgrass. With the wind blowing, the ribbons crept in, whether I wanted them or not. As I reviewed these, I liked the look of the dark ribbons at the bottom too.
It’s a pretty grass, and it’s fun to see it in different ways. I do think my favorite is the beribboned one, seen against the sunset colors. The one in the upper right looks particularly wintery; it’s attractive, too.
The sunset ones are my favorites of this series – switch grass is a lovely plant, particularly pretty in large groups.
The branches look so delicate you wonder how they can remain unbroken into the winter. It makes a lovely sort of tracery.
They do get knocked about as winter presses on. I like the complex networks the seeded branches make.
I like your comparaison with thé different lights contrast.
Sorry… and I like this grass very slight like a very young tree !
Switch grass is pretty – and it blows in the wind, like a tree, but much more so. Thanks!
