Wow, really quite beautiful.  I love that lushness of color.

very cool! 

what is behind the plant?

That’s Muhlenbergia rigens, a.k.a. basket grass.

Gesundheit.

{What camera are *you* using?}

Don’t know what Ron’s using that a Beschorneria makes her sneeze, but mine’s a Canon Digital Rebel XT. I decided I was sick of not having a single-lens reflex digital after the thousandth badly focused wildflower shot from my point and shoot.

The last camera I had was a Canon EOS-1 with an assortment of lenses including a 400 mm. Life intervened and I had to pay the rent. (What a surprise.) Anyway I’ve not had one since because technology esp digital makes me whimper. However I see all these amazing shots and I think I’m about to jump. Today looked at a Sony under $500 with 12x but I imagine it won’t near good enough for moose shots at dusk. The last time I asked the price of a 20 year old Canon 300 2.8 it was just under $6,000.

Maybe I’ll just get that brake work done.
