Here's one taken this frosty (24F at 0600) morning in our cattle-less pasture...

That is a classic, suunto, suitable for framing!

Actually, no, that's just my foot trail behind the house. I should have my wife get a photo of me passing through - I could submit that as my wildlife photo!

Wiregrass is Ventenata dubia (Ventenata dubia - BugwoodWiki), also called hairgrass because it looks like, well, hair. It is erect.

Centipede grass is Eremochloa ophiuroides (Centipedegrass -and- Plant: 'Eremochloa Ophiuroides' | learn2grow.com). It grows close to the ground. I guess it and, say, Bermuda grass can be considered weeds because of their spreading habits, but neither is wiregrass.

Gasp, choke - he ripped up a camellia that was big enough to give shade for grass?!?!?!?!

Those are such elegant bushes.

Yep, and he also took down a fig tree for the same reason. Don't ask...
