Fountain Grass
by Rosemary Woods

Fountain Grass (Pennisetum setaceum)native to Africa and related to Buffel grass, another problematic invasive species in the Sonoran desert as it provides hot fuel for fires. They are 2-3 feet tall with pink and purple bottle brush flowers on top which I enjoy watching blow back and forth in the wind. I also love the glow of the morning light.

Canon EOS 70D
1/320s f/10.0 at 116.0mm iso250, Tamron 28-300mm 3.5-6.3 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I love the composition . It is a very interesting shot and clearly see the pinkish purple bottle brush flower. The light definitely made this photo stand out.

Ah, so that's the name of it! Lovely shot in flattering light, Rosemary.
