I was going through some photos on my camera card and came across these photos of some moths the girls had found on our front deck.

They knew I love to snap photos of interesting things, so they called me to come take a look, and to bring my camera.

*as you can see, they’ve developed my love of awesomeness too. hee hee.

As I was looking through these photos, especially the ones that show the details of the moth,

I found myself pondering whether I felt the moth was pretty,

or ugly?

In either case, I definitely find it fascinating.

As I do pretty much all creatures.

That is, until I got to the next photos. These were the very next photos on my card.

This is one creature I consider pure ugly.

Not at all fascinating, just ugly.

A vulture.

We see them periodically around here. One time, a few years back, we had three of them on the property. Each one sat on a different fence post at the horse pasture. One on each post, 1, 2, 3, ugly creatures. They all sat just like this one, wings spread out wide.

I have to admit, THAT was slightly fascinating.

But this single vulture on this day sitting in a dead tree overlooking our pasture?
Fascinating? No. Ugly, and even disgusting? Yep.

And when he finally flew away, I was glad to see him go!
