Reaching for the Sky (Monochrome Monday)

There were beautiful blooms seemingly everywhere we looked yet it was these that really caught my eye. We stumbled upon this bed of ornamental grass heads whilst wandering around Tofino, Vancouver Island.

As you can see, the flower bed was raised enough for me to get a capture without any distractions and best of all, no need for me to lie on the pavement… boo yah!

Gorgeous. I love it when you capture the swaying of the grass. I have a plant similar to this, tall, tall, tall. It will flower in fall and turns golden. I must have posted it in Who has seen the Wind.

Haha! I’m imagining you lying on the pavement to get the shot. Lovely textures from the grasses. The b&w shows it off nicely.
