Thanks LaFoto, They are called "Cat Tails" in English, and they seem to grow anywhere around here that they ground is the least bit wet.
This was shot with my Canon 300D, but I shot it in RAW with the intent to convert it to B&W. I have been experimenting quite a bit latley on doing everything in my digital workflow that I used to do in a B&W darkroom. I think I am just about there.
