This scene reminded me of Ken Kirkby, an established Canadian painter, maybe in keeping with this month's nature as art contest. Several of his paintings show beautifully rendered grass. I realized later that my photo was not true Kirkby Grass, which always curls to the right, so I did a horizontal flip. Sadly, no requisite abandoned wooden boat seemed to be about for the backdrop.


Lots of Red Winged blackbirds flying around and singing, a pleasant spot to enjoy nature.

I love this scene...the contrast of the grass..with the green pines on the island behind. Feels remote and enchanting.

What they undertook came to pass all things hang like a drop of dew upon a blade of grass. Yeats

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫

Zooming way in, to a scene of nothing but the grass, makes an abstract of the whole. While chasing a degree in fine art, a lifetime ago, we attempted that sort of presentation in my painting studio. Earlier this fall, kayaking off a small island near the Canadian border, I marveled again at the reeds that all rose and bent, like bizarre bayonets of masses of eighteenth-century armies.

Happy Trails.
