Snowflakes around seedheads of an ornamental grass (silver grass) of the Miscanthus genus (probably the hybrid of M. sinensis and M. sacchariflorus known as Miscanthus × giganteus) of the Poaceae (Gramineae), or grass family, growing in Oshkosh, Wisconsin
The specimen also may be M. sinensis.
The plant also is called "winter miscanthus" due to the persistence of its bright seedheads through winter.
Originating in East Asia, M. sinensis is widely naturalized and considered invasive in parts of its naturalized range including the eastern U.S.

The Nougugawa (農具川) river may look like a canal but it is a natural river that rises in Lake Aoki, flows through Lake Nakatsuna and Lake Kizaki, and finally joins the Takasegawa river. It is important as a source of canals that feed the rice paddies in Oomachi and Ikeda.

This is another Miscanthus seed head; the genus grows widely in our back field. I tried to emphasize the white spikes here, without totally losing the yellows and oranges. I also like the form here, less complex but perhaps for that reason more compelling to my eye. This is the result of a 15 image focus stack, so it should reward efforts to view it as large as your screen allows.

I took this image in February 2020 during one of my last trips to the city park before it got closed due to COVID-pandemic ... it was a fine, sunny winter day and I enjoyed strolling around and taking photos - very fond memories of a carefree time !
Take care !!

Ich nahm dieses Bild im Februar 2020 bei einem meiner letzten Besuche im Stadtpark auf, bevor dieser wegen der COVID-Pandemie geschlossen wurde ... es war ein schöner, sonniger Wintertag und ich genoss es, herumzuschlendern und Fotos zu machen - sehr schöne Erinnerungen an eine unbeschwerte Zeit !
Passt auf euch auf !!
