Weeds in the wind upon an Alaskan beach.

Grasses that can be turned into
many different things.

Even the shadows can be used
for many pretty things.

Such lovely amazing grass @shasta. Your photos/video show it off very well, it must be tough grass. I love how productive nature is all around the world. I must look for some photos of the baskets.
ps: nice shadow catch!

Thank you ❤ @angiemitchell :-)
Oh I'd love to see your basket photos! Some of
the grasses here are extremely tough, especially
the ones growing along the beaches.

Thank you ❤ @melinda010100! :-) I did a long time ago
with some willow twigs. Watched a friend do a start to
the grass baskets, how she preserved the grass, split
it and weaved it around in the coiled shape.

I tried once with willow twigs, too. It didn't end up being a work of art! 😂 I have a basket made by a Native American friend who created them out of pounded strips of Ash wood.
