Grass Beautiful Grass

My love of grass began with a major research project I completed last year for a course entitled, "America's Obsession With the Front Lawn." I have become obsessed with the way people use grass in their landscapes, and find myself taking far too many photographs on this topic. These mounds of decorative grass were found in a Wendy's parking lot, of all places. It was gently blowing in the wind and completely mesmerizing.

Real Tree

The surface of this tree -- the mixture of bark and wood -- is so amazingly beautiful that I could stare at it for hours. How is it possible that nature creates this without any hidden motives or the need for attention?
