Default Blue Skies, Beautiful Grass

You all know of my fascination (which may be turning into an obsession) with Plume Grass.

I took the opportunity to grab a couple of shots yesterday while the sun was just right! After two shots my darn battery petered out! Lucky to get these though!

Wow, nice catches before the battery died though. What beautiful blue skies, and lovely contrast with the lighter grass.

Speaking of composition- I had to lie down in the dirt to grab this shot just the way I wanted it.

My boyfriend is always laughing everytime I go, "Ooh! Ooh! Stop the car!" Then jump out, throw everything on the ground, lie down face up and snap a shot!

Beautiful, love the color of the sky in these! I like the simplicity, as well. Very calming, thanks for sharing.
