The MN wildflower blog

I was lucky to have 2 photos today worthy of the title “photo of the day”. The flowers here seem to glow even though the plant was mostly in shadow. This is probably my favorite aster–the leaves have a lovely silvery sheen and are very soft to the touch.

(At least I think this is three-awn grass.) On this last day of summer, I got some very nice photos of various grasses but this one really struck me, like a piece of abstract art. This shot is looking straight down at the top of the plant, in early morning light.
