Quivering in the wind

I love these dainty little grasses with their slender stems and interesting form.

The aptly named Quiver grass, shakes in even the gentlest of breezes, making it a challenge to get super sharp images. This one will have to do for now!

Common name: Quake grass; Quaking grass; Shaking grass.

Botanical name: Briza maxima.

Family: Poaceae.

Taken in the Mountainside neighbourhood of Gordon's Bay, Western Cape, South Africa.
