black mondo grass and schubert

I grow and tend to what I like.

I started some of the grass from seeds from a friend, many years ago.

and I went to the nursery and asked the young lady if they had any black mondo grass.

she asked, "what color"?

sigh...

Obi from the archives

Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday ;o)

One from the archives, taken at Leith Hall gardens on a windy October day. I had no idea what it was I'd shot, and I've finally realised it is the remains of clematis flower heads! This year I bought more clematis plants, and some of the varieties produce these curling mop tops ... so at last I know!

Hope you had fun with Halloween - it was quiet here and too cold for many of the young ones to be out in the dark. So we had a welcome, restful evening after a manic start to the week.

Sometimes nature can be really strange. I have no idea what this is, but I loved the way it looked when backlit, especially with the setting sunlight hitting the river behind to create that bokeh.

I think these are mop heads. I've ruled out mopeds. Northside, Cincinnati

Sedges growing along the edge of the Merced River. They form distinctive grassy clumps that call to mind the mop top hairdos of the early Beatles.

Well they do remind me of a mop, they are I believe Grey Willow but a more mature Grey Willow than in my previous shot,I took several shots here as there was a bit of wind movement, this I think was the best one.

It looks like a mop head growing off the top of this rock. It is in fact a lichen known as Usnea inermis. A popular name for it is "old man's beard".

On a more dramatic note, it did make me think of those ugly creatures known as Morlocks in the 1960 sci-fi movie, The Time Machine.

I just liked the fact that the seedhead looked like a ball of fluff.

Lockdown has offered me the opportunity to remember why I love photography. It's been 8 years. I'm having to read the manual again!
