Glowing Grass in Golden Light

[best appreciated at full size against black]

Do you find yourself stunned at the effect that sunlight has when it shines through leaves and plants? The glowing qualities are mesmerizing to me, and the effect is different for everything! And, depending on where you point your camera, you can get wonderful lens flares to add to the wonderful glow of your subject. On this afternoon, I was heading up our road back to my house, when I turned my head and saw this grass, perfectly lit by the sun. I hoped that my angle would also include a nice flare in the golden light. I hope you like the result! :)
