Beauty surrounds us

While it’s sometimes difficult to notice (especially when we’re paying close attention to “mainstream” culture), beauty abounds. Whether it’s a white wispy cloud floating far above our head or a plant coming through the pavement at our feet, all we have to do to see the beauty is keep our eyes open. Of course I also think that beauty isn’t merely a visual thing. I believe we can feel and sense beauty in other ways — feeling a “beautiful” breeze on your forearms or face…noticing a “beautiful” feeling warming your heart.

This evening when I arrived home, I headed outside with my kitties and my camera. I was particularly captivated by some of the irises that grow in the many flower beds throughout our community. So that you too can enjoy the beauty I saw, I now share my favorite photo of the bunch.
