Those photos are splendid and will be hard to beat. I love the tall and short grass prairie. Something about it makes my heart sing. Thanks for showing it to me again.~~Dee

Wow...that first photo is a knock out! I hope it is legal for the contest, because it sure is a beauty! They all are. I don't have any ornamental grasses, but I often wonder why not. I'm sure there would be a place for at least 1! Most need sun, though (I think?) and I don't have any place in mind where I could put one. Anyway, good luck w/the contest!

Hi Jean, you grass photos are all wonderful in those breathtaking settings! You have captured the terrain and natural beauty of the combining done by a superior hand. :-)

You want to stroke that grass.
Such a lovely contrast with the mountains in the distance.

Beautiful photos -- my first thought was, "Wow, Texas really does have such rugged beauty." How funny that I went to a Louisiana blog to see such gorgeous images of Texas! The top photo has me mesmerized.

Hi Jean! Thank you for your comment on my blog. It brought me to your place, and I like it here! Yes, the NW has a lot of beautiful places, but look at your pictures! Wonderful! I think a person should just have his/her eyes open to see a beauty around. I love your grass pictures! The first one would be my pick, but the others are great, too! Good luck!

Jean, Native grasses growing in their own plant communities look the best to my eyes. Your photos are wonderful. The entry is fantastic and the shots with the mountains and clouds are calling to me. Like your garden, it will be another month or so, before the grasses have anything to show. I wish you good luck in the contest. gail

Hello Jean,
I had the same thought process and it looks like you and I continue on the same line. I got to looking through the archives and was amazed at how many grass photos I had collected over time.

Your photo (entry) is amazing with the blue sky and tan flowing grasses. All the other mountainous photos really drew me in as well. Nice to visit here... it's what I like about these contests... you find new friends.
Happy day,
Meems @ Hoe and Shovel

Looks great Jean! There are some native grasses in our area turning a pinkish color right now. I love grasses.

Beautiful Jean! I love the first and second photo ... gosh they are all fabulous... the textures are stunning in the landscape. Great sky too! Good Luck! Carol

They're grasses, they're beautiful, I think it works. I love the juxtaposition of the sky & clouds with the grasses in the first photo. Grasses are wonderful for imparting movement & sound in a garden, or in the wild.

2009-09-22T08:10:39.995-05:00

I agree, I really like the movement of grass, and the subtle colors kind of pick up the natural light and mood of a place. Love the cactus combo, too.

2009-09-21T23:20:54.760-05:00

Great pictures Jean. I have been eyeing two fields I pass by with an unknown grass, different from most others around here and was always tempted to stop for a photo for the contest in the last month. At the least I should stop with a shovel one day.

What a view! Gloriously beautiful scenery. If that were my garden, I wouldn't change a thing.

I thought I recognized the West Texas landscape. Beautiful pictures, Jean. You make me want to go see the Davis Mountains right now.

2009-09-21T20:43:41.393-05:00

These are all fantastic photos, Jean! Even if these photos aren't "legal" for the contest, I like this in the wild look. I've seen a few other entries;I'm sure glad I'm not one of the judges--I couldn't begin to choose!

The grasses make these photos look more like paintings than photos.

Hi Jean,

Beautiful pictures as always! I love all the grasses in the wild - we are fortunate to have lots of them around here, but they are just now turning colors. The feather reeds in my gardens have had seed heads for awhile now, but they never look as nice as grasses in the wild. Our Extension Demo Gardens have some beautiful grasses in bloom. I would enter those pictures if I knew it was ok.

Gorgeous photo. I love the contrast between sky and grass with the texture of the trees between.

2009-09-21T15:12:12.030-05:00

Actually Phillip, I meant to say that I didn't know if a photo of grasses in the wild would be allowed. Versus "ornamental" grasses in someone's garden, if you know what I mean.

2009-09-21T15:07:51.400-05:00

I love the second photo with the tree on the right but they are all beautiful. I don't think your photo has to be from your own garden. I have a photo I'd like to enter and it was taken in someone else's garden. Hmm, maybe we should ask about that.
