Nature’s Art and Knotholes
Once again, while walking across the Fauquier Golf Course, I focused on the beauty of the little things nature is eager to supply for all people who have an eye for the natural beauty all around us. The golf course extends a little bit beyond Heart Creek. The golfer crosses the obstacle via a bridge constructed with rough lumber and plywood. On the railing boards, I discovered several knotholes whose textures, patterns, and shapes are truly natural masterpieces. The following photos are three fine examples of nature’s artwork.



These knots suggest eggs.

And it takes a particularly astute observer to notice and to capture all that beauty.

I see eggs in the first and third, but the middle photo looks for all the world to me like a snail — its shell on the left, and its head with two antennae on the right. Apart from the shapes, the colors are quite nice, too. I especially like the hint of green in the middle of the knotholes.

On the top and bottom photos I see eyes. Great beauty is all around us but so often we fail to observe it. Thank you, Peter, for sharing.

It’s so easy to see why many artists are inspired by nature’s artistic creations.
