Rattles

Do you guys know this one?
Quacking grass or Briza is one of the most common grasses around here. And it is also one of the most photographed grass by me :) Besides the fluffy ones that look like little bunnies on sticks.

During the blooming time the flowers are light green. Later they all dry up and turn to light geryish-beige type of colour. The interesting part about it is that it makes a very cool sound when it is windy. Something like a very delicate rattle.
The flowers are made of layers of shells connected to each other at the top. They are empty inside which makes the super light.

Grass, weed - call it as you want. It is a cool one!

Thank you! I guess I am used to look at all the weird thing people don't normally pay attention to :)
