HUMBOLDT — Joshua Works has served up a natural palette for throngs of sight-seers to enjoy this month.

Works has a pasture filled with cosmos flowers west of Humboldt, in full bloom, creating a spectacular array of pink floral imagery.

He has invited anyone with a curious eye, or an appreciation of nature, to stop by to take a glance — and maybe a picture or 10.

The pasture, at 900 Hawaii Rd., is about a mile west and a mile north of Humboldt’s Neosho River bridge.
