Looking into Texas

The view to the south of the Carlsbad NP visitor's center is deep, broad and pretty much Texas. West Texas, that is. Better have a full tank of gas!

Common Milkweed

Why The Common Milkweed? Well many reasons: 1 - It's important! Milkweed is the only larval food for the Monarch Butterfly and food for many other invertebrates. 2 - It's common, yet possesses singular beauty and therefore represents all the beauty in and around us (right under our noses and on "this side of the fence") and the potential for that common beauty to be recognized, expressed and celebrated. 3 - Its persistence in less than ideal growing conditions proves that the beauty contained in the common endures.
