Grass straw update

Grass Straw Update
I wonder if anyone will believe this. On July 1st I was on my way to old tree for my weekly photo, when I spotted a funny looking grass straw by the side of the path. I had my pancake lens with me and it was windy so it took a while, but in the end I got a real good photo of the straw. Anyway, on my way to the tree 10 weeks later, I noticed that same grass straw! It was still there. And this is it. I didn't know what it was so I asked at a forum called Odla.nu where Sylvia answered my question in just a couple of minutes. It is a Timothy-grass, or Timotej as we call it here.

What a fabulous photo and some good research into what it is! My son is called Timothy so I will tell him too!

Looks like it's just opened up a bit here.. The good thing about the pancake lens is that it's so small and easy to carry around and takes fab shots like this.

It certainly does make for a fascinating image!

Well made photo. It seems to float in space.

This is a testament to the resilience of grasses and other plants. It's nice to see it again!

I have never seen this strange grass, it is good that there is always someone who can help use identifying things we don't know...

Kul grepp att fota grässtrået rakt uppifrån. Funkar utmärkt!
