Apache Plume

A quick break from stone castles and grey skies of Wales. Here is a bit of New Mexico blue sky and Apache plume grows in the high desert around Albuquerque. This plant can be found in abundance throughout the Chihuahuan desert, growing wild in arroyos between in elevations of 3000 to 8000 feet.

 

I've been trying to get a good photo of these delicate wispy seed heads for some time, and think this is getting closer.
