This is an old photo of blue grama grass flowering and setting seeds, taken in Flagstaff in September 2014. I was approached in March by the authors and publisher of The Ecology of Plants, who found the photo on tumblr and wanted to include it in a college textbook that was being revised for a new edition. I got a complimentary copy of the book yesterday. I guess this makes me a minor cog in the great mill of the College Textbook Industrial Complex, but it is still a thrill to see my shot featured on the book’s back cover. To all the students who will be shelling out to buy it, I’m sorry, and You’re welcome.
