I was walking by the local high school with my son and noticed the long grass and became curious about it. I like to use the iNaturalist app to identify species I don't know and so I learned this was smooth meadow grass, also known as Kentucky bluegrass. When I realized that, I knew instantly I had to made a cyanotype, combining the grass and the music. As well as the grass itself, I've imaged an excerpt of the sheet music for Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Stomp.
I took the opportunity to make some other botanical cyanotypes with plants from my garden or cut flowers.
