Pennisetum alopecuroides (Chinese Pennisetum, dwarf fountain grass, foxtail fountain grass, swamp foxtail grass) is a species of perennial grass native to Asia and Australia.
Fountain Grass is one of the most popular grasses. The 'Hameln' selection forms an upright mound of arching green leaves, bearing bottlebrush spikes of silvery-white flowers that turn to buff or tan as they dry.
'Hameln' refers to the German town of Hamelin, most famous for the folk tale of the Pied Piper.

De cultivar 'Hameln' bloeit zeer rijk met bloeiaren die bestaan uit prachtige lichtbruine borstels welke boven de bladeren uitsteken. Bloeitijd is van juli t/m september, de pluimen blijven tot aan het eind van de winter zitten en worden steeds meer zilvergrijs van kleur.
'Hameln', want deze soort werd gekweekt in de Duitse plaats Hamelen, bij een ieder bekend door het sprookje/volksverhaal van Grimm over de rattenvanger.

The sand's luminescent reflection reminds me of the inside of an abalone shell. Having cropped this shot five different ways, I'm still not sure which one I like best.
Hamelin
So whilst in Germany we visited the home of the Pied Piper, Hamelin.
Another beautiful town, and Hamelin has a Glockenspiel going on too. It shows the Pied Piper leading the rats out of town… it then shows him leading the children out of town, except 3 of them who then go back and don’t follow him.
I needed help in finding out the year that the Post Office was built, because it actually says 1987 on the stone.
My pal Walter Johannes got to the bottom of it, and found it was built in 1883, In 1987, a company called Niemeyer had its headquarters in the building.

Peter and Oleg went to Hamelin, the town famous for the Pied Piper. They met Rudi the Rat who told them the story about the Pied Piper
PETER:
Rudi...You had promised to tell us the story of the Pied Piper as soon as we arrived in the Netherlands.
RUDI:
I certainly promised that. Sit on the sofa together and I'll tell you the story. Are you sitting comfortable?
PETER:
I'm ready.
OLEG:
Me too.
RUDI:
Well then....
In 1284, the town suffered from a rat plague. In the pre-summer, a colourful man appeared with a flute on his belt and a he called himself Randolph. He could play beautiful melodies on his flute and the mayor asked him if he would succeed in ridding the city of the rats. He would be handsomely rewarded for it. Randolph started playing his flute and from all directions the rats gathered around him. The rats were enchanted by his music and so Randolph brought them from the city to the river Weser. The residents were happy to be freed from the rats and Randolph demanded his pay from the mayor. The mayor denied him that. Randolph furiously left the town! After a few years, he returned and started playing his flute. All the children of the town gathered around Randolph.
He took the children from the town to Poppenberg where he disappeared with the children. The parents searched everywhere, but the children were never found
OLEG:
What a nasty story
PETER:
How awful.
RUDI:
It's terrible what happened to my ancestors and also to all those children.
Every day I walk around the city in my costume and play beautiful melodies with my flute, hoping that one day they will come back.
PETER:
I'm going to help you find your ancestors and the children Rudi!
I also have friends who are willing to help you.
OLEG:
We'll be happy to do that for you!
RUDI:
I would be very grateful to you
Thank you.
PETER:
But I have to go to my very best friend Scout first, because it's his birthday soon and I have to give him a big present
RUDI:
I understand that sweet little bear
PETER:
Um...I'm not little Rudi...I'm big and strong
RUDI;
Hm...

I have started working three days a week at the nursery so I can concentrate on my photography and on those days off and the weekend I take Critter for his morning walk which has turned into taking Critter and Slinky for their morning walk.
Sometimes I feel like the Pied Piper but instead of rats I have cats and dogs following me :)

Jasper's flute attracts all kinds of creatures. All for the good of the town of Gilbert, AZ where we live though.
Oh I had grand visions for this shot and my pied boy. Jasper has great posing skills but it was harder to pull off than I thought and he would allow only one take. And here it is :-)
It's been a really long while since I've posted any Flash Villains! :P
I recently bought a couple of the figs from that big dumb Snowspeeder set, and updated my Mirror Master, which is probably where this idea kicked off.
Well that, and the fact that I did the exact same photoshoot two years ago and never posted a thing here on flickr! :P
Over on Patreon, I have an exclusive Throwback-Thurday of this very photo, plus a look at how I photographed this new image, as well as the old one! :)
But anyway, it's been a slow week, but I've got some really cool stuff coming soon including a new comic cover, and some Green Lantern stuff that Patrons will get to see first! ;)
Also, as a reminder, anybody who donates, gets a personal shout-out on my next post here on flickr, plus a follow from yours truly ;)

EL Flautista de Hamelin, fábula documentada por los Hermanos Grimm. Con esta comienzo una serie de fotografías inspiradas en los cuentos de nuestra infancia. Espero que os guste. Os dejo con el cuento...
En la ciudad de Hamelín estaba infestada de ratas. Un buen día apareció un desconocido que ofreció sus servicios a los habitantes del pueblo. A cambio de una recompensa, él les libraría de todas las ratas, a lo que los aldeanos se comprometieron. Entonces el desconocido flautista empezó a tocar su flauta, y todas las ratas salieron de sus cubiles y agujeros y empezaron a caminar hacia donde la música sonaba. Una vez que todas las ratas estuvieron reunidas en torno al flautista, éste empezó a caminar y todas las ratas le siguieron al son de la música. El flautista se dirigió hacia el río y las ratas, que iban tras él, perecieron ahogadas.
Cumplida su misión, el hombre volvió al pueblo a reclamar su recompensa, pero los aldeanos se negaron a pagarle. El cazador de ratas, muy enfadado, abandonaría el pueblo para volver poco después, en busca de venganza.
Mientras los habitantes del pueblo estaban en la iglesia, el hombre volvió a tocar con la flauta su extraña música. Esta vez fueron los niños, ciento treinta niños y niñas, los que le siguieron al compás de la música, y abandonando el pueblo los llevó hasta una cueva. Nunca más se les volvió a ver.
Taken for Macro Mondays group, theme 'Windowsill'. Week 17/2020.
This is a pottery rat from Hamelin in Germany. These are the rats from the folk tale of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. It's about 2.5 inches nose to tail.
The photo was taken in natural light, stood on blue shiny card. I've used a macro lens plus 1.4 teleconverter. It's been cropped to 16x9 but otherwise is straight out of the camera.
I went back to the field where I had seen the previous Glis Glis. flickr.com/photos/algo/206560435/
And there I saw this little fellow. I think it was smaller, and did not have such a pink nose. It did not seem afraid of me, and when I offered this green stalk it curled up and nibbled at it. I managed to get a bunch of shots, before it darted off into the hedge.
They look like very practical "hands", and efficient ears.
Glis Glis? They are about the size of a small squirrel. Look - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glis_glis - or - www.the-piedpiper.co.uk/th1l.htm
I admit it, I was tempted to shear the sheep and take the wool home to knit a nice brown and cream pullover. The brown sheep in these parts were a very dark chocolate colour. They actually came running up to me (see photo in first comment box) like I was the Pied Piper, never had that happen with sheep before, I must smell like the locals :-)

Wanted to take a photo showing all of the Flashes Rouges I have, I'd list the names but I'm sure you already know em
We got given different fairy tales to illustrate for the Once Upon art show. Mine was "The Pied Piper of Hamelin"
For the children I looked up nice names that maybe the children might have actually had in Hamelin.

Barry was knocked clean off his feet, as a sound so loud and sharp erupted in front of him! The Flash was responding to a silent alarm he had received while over in Central City. Speeding over as fast as he could, the surprise he met nearly took his ears off! Barry's head still spinning, he could barely make out a figure holding what looked to be a sonic fiddle of some kind. “That's it! I gotta get that away from him!”
--------------------------------------
It's almost as if Rathaway knew he was coming! Flash will certainly get an earful if he doesn't get that flute away from Hartley! Come back tomorrow for more! :)
I think these creatures are amazing. I've never seen one in the UK, only Europe. This one was in central France. I think it is a type of centipede and therefore a carnivore but I could be wrong. I love it's symmetry and the fact that it looks like something that hasn't changed for millennia. I'm sure there are fossils of creatures very similar to this. Of course, if this was 10 times the size it would be pretty scary!
Aparrantly it is a female house centipede (scutigera coleoptrata). For more info see www.the-piedpiper.co.uk/th11d(5).htm
thanks to Wysterior for putting me on the right track
For a moment, Hartley stood in shock at what had just happened. For a second or two Rathaway was now all alone in the alley of the bar he just robbed, except for all of his bags and his sonic flute were gone! Suddenly without warning, in a bright red gush of motion, two of Central City's finest were standing in front of him, his hood was pulled back, and best of all he was in handcuffs! Before Hartley could say a thing, the startled policemen frantically bumbled forward and took him off The Flash's hands.
Brushing off his gloves, and with a cocky smile The Flash mocked, “Well that didn't take so long, now did it?”
--------------------------------------
Well that's all for now guys! What did you think of the story/figs/moc/whatever? I love to hear feedback, so let me know what you thought! :)
Our next Rouge will really be bringing the heat... ;)
Did you know that the story of the Pied Piper actually comes from something that really happened? As in one time in the 1200's 130 children went missing.
We got given different fairy tales to illustrate for the Once Upon art show. Mine was "The Pied Piper of Hamelin"
The originals are all sold, but if I get enough interest I might make some prints.
For the children I looked up nice names that maybe the children might have actually had in Hamelin.

Top row: Killer Frost, Giganta, Gorilla Grodd, Captain Boomerang and Trickster
Bottom row: Plastique, Pied Piper, Heatwave, Captain Cold, Weather Wizard and Mirror Master.
I had these figs lying around for awhile so I decided to post it.
L to R:
Top row: Gorilla Grodd
Middle row: Pied Piper, Giganta and Captain Boomerang
Bottom row: Trickster, Weather Wizard, Heatwave, Captain Cold, Plastique, Mirror Master and Killer Frost
I updated some of my Flash villains so I decided to post it.

Oh poor people of Hamelin, He have heard your pitiful cries.
The Pied Piper have come to rid you of the vermin you despise.
His pipe plays tunes so haunting, it will trap all the rats that hear.
He will quickly rid your town of all that brings you deep fear.
With his pipe, he danced and swayed and lured all around.
He led the rats of the back and into the river they drowned.
“Ha ha he he! We are free.”, the greedy town people cried.
“We won't pay you silly man, we lied we lied we lied!”
Do once again with his pipe so wild he danced upon a beat,
and every child from that poor town was swept off down the street.
