Cattails in a pond near the Canal glow in the early evening light.

Nobody loves the cattails more than the red-winged blackbirds.

Still more ...

Lovely pictures. But not reeds -- cattails.

I knew it! Well, actually, I just knew they weren't reeds. I had a conversation with Miriam about it trying to remember (it was late...), and all I could come up with were "bullrushes". Not right. Bulls, cats ... you know.
Thanks. :)

Posted by: John MacDonald at July 12, 2005 05:12 PMAwesome photos! Could I get one in super high-res? 1900 X 1200, to be exact... I want to use it as a desktop background. The first one is perhaps the best.
