The grasses in the prairie are especially showy right now. With all the rain we’ve had this year they seem taller than normal. The problem is that they flop into the walking paths. If you are walking early in the morning the dew on the grasses will get you sopping wet.

This picture from this morning shows the flower heads in a stand of Indian Grass (aka Sorghastrum nutans).
