'Barbed wire'

The fine, silvery hairs and tiny seeds of Miscanthus sinensis 'Purpurascens'.

Phew...mouthful.

Flame grass's big, fluffy plumes put on a spectacular show in summer and turn an almost pewtery shade of white in late Fall.

The sepia coloring of the image was unplanned, but I did shoot a cutting indoors since we had our first smattering of snow today.


Additional EXIF and shooting data:
Used the 21 mm extension tube on the 28-50mm, 1:2.8 lens and a tripod.
Lens was two inches from the focal point.
