THE DALLAS POST — THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1962
Kev
Rev. Charles H. Frick, pastor of
Huntsville Christian Church, and
straight as a ramrod despite his
eighty-plus years, lent some of his
dearest treasures to the Dallas Post
for the Garden Issue.
Some years ago Rev. Frick pa-
tiently scoured thewoods for nature
at its best, finding baby ruffed
grouse, shy ladyslippers, trailing
arbutus, cool ferns. Everywhere,
he took pictures. Dometimes with a
telescopic lens, sometimes without,
depending upon the shyness of his
subjects.
Rev. Frick has an eye for beauty
in the smallest bits of nature. To
him, a pink ladyslipper or a delicate
moth is more important than the
mo st costly hothouse product. Over
the field of bluets, he and Gene
Stratton Porter had a considerable
correspondence, and the upshot
was that Rev. Frick was able to
gather for her some ladyslipper
seeds, extremely rare. (Gene Strat-
ton Porter was well known as an
author and nature lover a good
many years ago.)

Frick Has An Eye For Beauty In Nature
Enlarged and mounted, Mr.
Frick’s nature pictures have been
shown to many a garden dub. One
picture of a moth with wide-spread
wings appeared in a number of
cap, because nobody could hopeto
compete on equal terms with it. The
moth, on its delicate twig, was too
dark to reproduce properly in an
issue such as this. It was regretfully
sidetracked in favor of pictures with
greater contrast.
The cover picture, beautifully
composed by nature itself, was
taken several years ago athisfarm
on Pikes Creek. Sleek cattle posed
against a rugged background of
rock outcropping. And as today,
the dogwood was in bloom, a drift
of snow against a somber back-
ground.
