That's timothy-grass - an introduced species for hay and pasture in the Rocky Mountain foothills and on the northern prairie. Timothy is now widespread, found in moist places across the prairie. I made this shot early one morning, again using the long lens on a subject for which I usually turn to the 105mm macro. At this location I was travelling light, carrying only the telephoto, looking for birds. When birds proved elusive - numbers seem to be way down across my region - I turned to other subjects.
