Searching for Beauty...

My eyes search for beauty like a parched man searches for water...
Everywhere I go, everything I do, every corner is scanned for beauty...
It's in almost everything and everywhere, are you looking for it?
Along the side of the road, Queen Anne's Lace is blooming profusely...
An old building with peeling paint, a faded red barn from days gone by...
Slanting rays of sunlight streaming through an open cloud, billowing cumulus clouds on a summer day...
An azure sky, a dark grey sky with an angry powerful storm approaching...
The fresh bright green of Spring's new leaves...
A rushing river, a single splash of rain...
A bird's morning song and a cicadas unique clicking...
Fireflies in the warm velvet breeze...
The delicate colors and veins of a single petal...
Misty blue rounded mountains and sharp rocky mountain peaks...
The varying ocean shades with sand and rocks to crash against...
It's easy to find beauty in nature, you say, but what if I'm stuck inside?
There is always something for color hungry eyes to seek out...
Watercolor palates, dried paint on a dish, a colorful set of tea cups...
Pens, fabric, papers, fresh fruit and veggies...
A child's smile, a puppy's kiss...
Colored glasses, the bold pages of a magazine, a favorite childhood book...
Photographs of birthdays and happy times, loved ones...
I can find it anywhere, in the silliest of objects and places...
Give me a bag of marbles to photograph or a set of old colored pencils...
A tin of tea or a creamy latte, a stack of cards or a vintage book...
It doesn't have to be perfect or large...
Sometimes it's stopping to take a picture with your phone's camera of a sunset or of a bee landing on a flower in a home store...
Are you looking? Are you looking? It's not hard to find...and it's all free...
Open your eyes, there is so much to see and...
Enjoy.
