"As the woodpecker taps in a spiral quest
From the root to the top of the tree,
Then flies to another tree,
So have I bored into life to find what lay therein,
And now it is time to die,
And I will fly to another tree."
--Sidney Lanier
--Sidney Lanier was born February 3, 1842 in Macon, Georgia. He was an was an American musician, poet and author.
This is just perfect in every way! It's not just about the bird, although he is a beauty and the focus but the tree texture & background light & bokeh also play into the overall beauty of the image.
