Beauty from above

funeralday3

 

I’m all about simple beauty these days. I think it started when I began carrying my camera with me everywhere. I notice the smallest, tiniest things that add true brilliance to my life.

I’m sorry I didn’t notice them before, but I’ve sworn to notice them now. And when I forget the camera — like when I missed the opportunity to capture the burning of a 36-inch hornets’ nest — I am distraught. Because those images are natural and beautiful.

Like the sky. Some of the most brilliant beauty comes from above … literally.

Could the sky be bluer? Could those clouds be whiter or fluffier?

It was a truly magnificent day.

It was a spectacular day for celebration …

The pure beauty of it began the evening before.

First the sky turned a strange shade of yellow-gray …

Then a few raindrops sprinkled down to the ground.

And then this appeared …

Or should I say … these appeared.

Can you see the second one? It’s faint, but it’s there.

Take time to notice the little things. They are the greatest of all.
