This is lovely Judy. Oat wheat I believe and just the new color of my hallway. I love it. Looks like there was a soft breeze blowing.

Tracey from White Hall, United States
Mmmm...soooo relaxing! I love the windswept feel of this one. A lot of summery images this morning and I am loving it as I sit here under gray skies. We do need the rain here in MD, though!
23 Jul 2008 12:47pm
@Tracey: I agree - some wonderful summer scenes today ...
We have had full sun and then gray skies ... and all the desperately needed rain traveled north to south, EAST of us! <pout>
@Cia: Thank you!
rajalekshmy from Plano, United States
Lovely composition! I read from the comments that it is called Sea Oat. Is it any different from the regular oats?
23 Jul 2008 4:35pm
@rajalekshmy: Your question is a good one. These Sea Oats are wild, not the harvested type that would be planted by farmers. An online search produced this, and as you can see, none of these varieties are grown in Florida.
There are four varieties of oats grown in the United States:
1. White oats, which account for most U.S. production, are grown north of the Ohio River and east of the Rocky Mountains.
2. Red oats are grown south of the Ohio River in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
3. Gray oats are produced in the Pacific Northwest.
4. Black oats are grown in small amounts in various parts of the country.
