Catching the Eye

It was a sunny, late summer morning with a clear blue sky when I was on my way out of an industrial park after teaching yoga.  Driving out, my eye was caught by what at first looked like little dancing flames among a stand of cattails.  The sun was hitting the yellowing slivers of cattail foliage and the breeze was making them dance.  It was so pretty, I had to take a photo--in fact I took two. My camera is nothing to envy, but hopefully you can catch a glimpse of flames dancing among the cattails.  The second photograph is a close-up, and thankfully, its much clearer.  One of my favorite shots of plants is too look at them from underneath, to see them climb vertically against the backdrop of blue sky.
