Whut's it good fer? (another episode)

For some reason known only to the Goddess Herself, the CB has more Acalypha ostryifolia than ever before.  Big patches of it actually.   So Ray began to wonder, should I mow it, or not?

The decision to mow or not mow a flowering plant may be made on the basis of, Whut's it good fer?   With Acalypha ostryifolia, a fair question, since it is on the unattractive or semi-beautiful side.  Yet the lesser goldfinches answered, Whut's it good fer?, fer, I mean for, Ray. 

Here is a lesser goldfinch, part of a flock, eating Acalypha ostryifolia seeds.  Seeds we didn't need to buy, but which the Goddess provided fer, I mean for, free.

By the way, this picture was accomplished employing a 430exII flash and better beamer flash extender.  In general, Crumby is pleased with this rig.  However, he would be much more pleased if he had gotten to deploy the rig for its intended purpose, Alaska.  Yes, sadly the worst part of Crumby's quadruple bypass was having to cancel the Alaska vacation.  Sad, sad, sad.
