Nature’s Beauty and the Beast

Wildflowers are blooming. Have you noticed? Masses of golden Plains Coreopsis (Coreopsis tinctoria) were nestled in a low spot out on the golf course at Dyess.
Then I spotted this Golden-fronted Woodpecker with a deformed or broken bill. You hardly ever notice nature’s imperfection because nature is not very kind to the weak, the deformed, or the old.


Maybe you want to scroll back to the first picture and remember nature’s beauty.

Yes, I’d say that woodpecker won’t be with us much longer…
