Introduction

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. ~Confucius

Beauty can be found in so many things. In a sunset or a smile, a ballet or a babbling brook, a dress or a dragonfly. This blog is dedicated to all things beautiful, from the natural world and that of humankind.

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. ~John Muir

However it is not my intention to promote beauty itself, but rather it's effects. The smile it paints across your face, the worry its wastes away and the reminder at times when it seems to you that all is lost, there is still hope. Remember it must be dark to see the stars!

I invite you to celebrate the world's beauty in all it's forms with me. To see that in fact, no matter where you may be there is an abundance of beauty. I hope you can visit this blog from time to time and find it uplifting, renewing that spring in your step. I look forward to sharing my thoughts and hearing your comments.

When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other. ~Chinese Proverb
