I'm not sure if these are bamboo, or just some relative. Interesting thing, they are only about five inches tall. I am really likeing the 20mm f/1.8 Sigma lens I mentioned here a while ago. It focuses down to about six inches; but that is six inches from the film plane. So the front of the lens is only about 1/2 inch away from these guys. Makes it look like a whole forest!

Looks like a great lens! What a wonderful little forest with all the different hues of green. These are called Horsetail (Equisetum hyemale). The bushy slender stems that radiate out from a main stem look like a horse's tail. Your photo doesn't show the bushy part at the top. Some people think these once grew sixty feet tall, like trees. Horsetails today don't usually grow taller than four feet.

Looks very well; and it's perfect for May challenge :)

That's cool. I really thought it was some form of bamboo. Bsteph
