dewy grass

Damp dawn turf

Grass covered with dew—the moisture that condenses on surfaces overnight.

The phrase evokes early morning freshness, coolness underfoot, and the particular quality of light on wet blades: She walked barefoot through the dewy grass.

Common in pastoral and romantic imagery.
