Feathers 1,2,3

Welcome to the pyramid of the rose, the Danube of the wisteria, the towering peak of the ocotillo. Welcome, also, to the Taj Mahal of the peacock, the royal barge of the grackle, and the temple of the caparisoned elephant. These and other delectations from nature are explored in this collection of essays culled from my newspaper columns published in the El Paso Times between 1998 and 2019.
