This big stand of decorative grass is located behind some puffy heads of something with long stems...
Today's quotes:
The flower is always the bud’s undoing. Let go then. Step into the river lean into the wind let the strength of the earth rise through you. Watch your fingertips burst into bloom. |
PAVITHRA K. MEHTA I just had to add this one from the blog Love is a Place from yesterday. Look at the life span of the author, and consider his vocabulary. Technologies of the soul tend to be simple, bodily, slow and related to the heart as much as the mind. Everything around us tells us we should be mechanically sophisticated, electronic, quick, and informational in our expressiveness - an exact antipodes to the virtues of the soul. It is no wonder, then, that in an age of telecommunications - which, by the way, literally means “distant connections” - we suffer symptoms of the loss of soul. We are being urged from every side to become efficient rather than intimate. —Thomas Moore (1779 - 1852) |
The tall grasses are pretty, I like seeing them swaying in the wind. Great quote.
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day and week ahead.
I think these grasses are considered non-native, and if not controlled in gardens, can become invasive against the native plants. But I dare say they will be well controlled here.
Delete...the blue sky is a great start, it's overcast here!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid the blue skies are hidden away again here too.
DeleteI like big grass. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I hope it's a good week! I kind of like that grass for landscaping.
DeleteWe call it pampas grass but there are actually different kinds with different names. The panorama on my blog was a cell phone one that I edited before posting. By cropping it on my phone and saving it, the curve disappeared.
ReplyDeleteAh, so glad to know how you did that panorama photo! I've called it pampas grass often too.
DeleteIt'll be interesting to see what new flowers bloom there when spring turns everything green.
ReplyDeleteI plan to be able to walk down there in a month or so to see the plants and flowers...and take lots of photos!
DeleteI guess we'll wait for spring before we know what it will be. Have a wonderful new week!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to that dragging time before spring. It also is known as the starving time, when earlier people ran out of their winter stores before anything new had fruited. The worst thing was when farmers ate their seeds that were to grow the next crop. I'm also aware that they probably could and did hunt to get through that time.
DeleteThat long grass really stands out.
ReplyDeleteIt does, doesn't it!
DeleteIt is lovely! We've freezing rain, and it isn't pretty! Spring is coming!
