Taken near Logan Pass, Glacier Nat'l Park. I'm always captivated by back lighting and here it clearly illuminated the fine filaments on each of the strands of the flower head. It's a pity the RMNP compression algorithm degrades the sharpness that's clearly apparent in the print.

Cool stuff! I remember seeing those in Glacier and they are definitely interesting subjects.

First time I've seen a closeup of this plant. I love how it looks in a landscape image, so I find this quite interesting.

Nice...and it doesnt look like compression hurt it any on my monitor.
Lovely....Are you sure this is bear grass? It looks like the seedhead of western pasque flower, or at least what we call "old man of the mountain" in Oregon.
