Blue-eyed grass in fading afternoon light. Prosser Meadows, Ca. 6-17-25

Kurt, this is a stunning close-up—beautiful light, delicate detail, and a flower I’d honestly never heard of until now. Had to Google it just to learn a bit more, and I’m glad I did. Your photo does it justice and then some.

Not truly grass, yet truly blue—
Framed like this, it’s something new.

Thanks again, Eric. The poem as well! These are excessively difficult to find in my area so I put forth quite an effort to get a decent image. These were the only two I found after searching for over an hour in an area where I had seen them in the past.

Wonderful detail and very nice light for this bloom portrait. I love the deep blue in this bloom.

Who knew that grass that eyes?

Great job finding this, and an even better job capturing it.

Those are nice flowering grasses. Worth searching for. I had them in my previous mountain home. This one has a lot of potentilla, yarrow & mullein.
