Beauty is Where You Find It

Perhaps the best reason to take photographs is to become more aware of your surroundings, particularly of the beauty that surrounds us each day and keeps the ugliness that also surrounds us at bay.

Walking Skye this morning I glimpsed a Hawk fly across our path, land on a branch, and glare down at us. Though I doubt I would even have noticed a few years ago, it brightened up my walk the same way that spotting a Pileated Woodpecker the day before did.

Luckily, I was carrying my camera in the car when I picked up Gavin and Lael yesterday and noticed their sitter’s beautiful dahlias, beautiful enough to rival any of those I’ve seen at the Pt. Defiance Dahlia Garden.

  1. Beautiful photo.
    I can’t agree more with what you said here…Beauty is where you find it. Yes, absolutely.

    I found your site recently, and I love all the photos you have here. Your photos inspire me to take photos myself…

  2. You are an expert at finding beauty in nature, and sharing it with others. The world needs more men like you.
