For a central states group some of us sure seem to get around. With the last few post from out of the central states region and then whooping cranes thought I would go back to the east coast.
As pristine as the grasslands of the tall grass prairies can be they sure aren't the only grasses that play vital roles of their native habitat. Sea Oats stretch along the east coast down into the Caribbean and Mexico are held in high regards in their important of protecting coastlines from erosion and surges. "Stay Off The Dunes" signs abound the dunes which these grasses grow and in some states it's illegal to walk on the dunes in which Sea Oats are growing.

"Know your oats" was and old Cheerio commercial if memory serves. I guess it also serves for beaches, too.
Nice capture, Brad

Nice image Brad! Peaceful scene.
Get any sand in the camera?

Nice shot Brad, the ocean really creeps me out (too much water for a landlubber from Kansas), but this shot is really peaceful and looks like a place I could enjoy all the water.
