Equisetum hymale is an interesting wild, yet ornamental segmented grass. It is also known as Horsetail or Scouring rush. The sun filtering through the woods illuminate the stalks so they appear to be lit from within. They are very pretty in this presentation.
The photograph was taken during our hike around Mirror Lake at Yosemite.
