Sorry to ask for another ID Don, but I looked for quite a while Thursday for some of this grass for a background shot. In this frame, it's the tall, straight, darker green grass. It seemed to favor the lower-lying area that runs east-west just north of the parking lot. I'll post a macro too, but you probably already know what it is...
Ya just gotta love those colors up close and personal. Both are very nice! It is big bluestem, Andropogon gerardii. Also called turkeyfoot because of the shape of the flowering structure. One of the dominant grasses in the tallgrass prairie region, travelers complained of not being able to see over it while riding their horses across the prairie state of Illinois. However, it is more subdued in the Osage Plains, due to poorer soil and less rainfall, but can reach 6 feet tall.
