The dune sea oats are in bloom. They’re so graceful and the color going from fresh green to gold is remarkable. A lovely design of nature and its Creator.
I took this photo today using the Portrait feature on my iPhone Camera.

Beautiful!
I remember being stationed in Mayport in the early 80’s traveling up and down A1A seeing signs to not harvest the sea oats. Are they edible? Protected? Why can’t they be harvested? Why would one want to harvest them? All these years later hopefully you know the answers.
Sea oats are vital to protecting sand dunes.
“Its tall leaves trap wind-blown sand and promote sand dune growth, while its deep roots and extensive rhizomes act to stabilize them, so the plant helps protect beaches and property from damage due to high winds, storm surges and tides.
It also provides food and habitat for birds, small animals and insects”
