Description
An autumn sun highlights these dune grasses (American Dune Grass) standing tall into the blue sky filled with cirrus clouds on a beautiful fall day. This particular clump of dune grass was captured along the beach at the Fenwick Island State Park in coastal Delaware.
These grasses help protect the island from the relentless encroachment of the Atlantic Ocean as its waves crash along the beach. The roots have a symbiotic relationship with microbes in the sandy soil and spread tendrils through the sand to help keep from being covered by wind-blown grains of sand.
