The destination of the cattails at UMass Amherst was at the campus pond in the center of campus. To obtain the picture, a student visited the UMass pond during daylight hours and walked down the grassy hill that leads to the pond from North Pleasant Street. The part of the pond where the width is the smallest was approached. This area is past the gravel path that runs along the side of the pond. From about 15 feet away from the pond water border, picture ‘A’ (Figure 1) was taken from shoulder height of the student, with a camera, of a cluster of about 15 cattail plants. The cattail is shown in the center and the background shows the pond water and other tall, yellow, string-like grass that surrounds the cattail and then the edge of the pond makes up most of the foreground.
