Tall Grass by the lake

One of the coves has this large patch of tall grass. There’s something about it that fascinates me. I’ve tried to take pictures of it many times and the results have been unsatisfying. I have a similar problem with forsythias. Somehow there’s so much detail that it’s overwhelming. If you get in close you lose the massed grasses, but if you stay farther away you seem to lose something too – although I’m not entirely sure what. I’m reasonably satisfied with this one.

Iris

On the side of our driveway there is a tiny cluster of very small irises. This is a picture of the first one that bloomed. These irises are really small, but somehow the picture makes this one look much larger that it actually is.
