sorry about all the grass lately, but it’s what i’m seeing, and it’s just pretty and awesome, and, well, pretty awesome. what i truly wish is that i could somehow recreate on STILL blog the incredible patterns made by the roots of these grasses. there is a wonderful graphic that should have won somebody an award showing the above ground profiles of tallgrass prairie species, compared to their underground root profiles. i could look at that image for days.
