Commonplace Beauty





I think it's one of the fundamental truths of natural history that you can find beauty in all living organisms - even a commonplace dock Rumex sp. plant like this - if you look a little closer. The ripe seeds are attractive to look at and also favourite food of bullfinches in autumn.



































Add a cobweb and some early morning sunlight and a whole dock plant becomes attractive.
