Windblown grass.
Lovely, busy, windy day. So windy, in fact, that on my Beech Hill hike with Jack I saw not a single bird. I heard a dozen of them, just didn’t see any. In fact, I only saw a couple of species anywhere today (crow, gull). Blame it on the wind and assorted urgencies.
So here’s a photo of some windblown stalks of grass.
