Once you open your eyes to the beauty around you, you begin to notice things. Like,the pattern of pancake batter left in the bottom of the pan (do you see a hummingbird?):
Or the way the clouds part to form a heart (a message of love?):
Silhouettes in a culvert pipe (who would think this ugly, dirty pipe would be ideal for a photography session?):
What Ordinary Beauty did you see this week?

I love those pictures. I know I have been trying to find the beauty here even though is is so flat. Sometimes it is easier than others. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI need to start looking for simple treasures like that!
ReplyDeleteI saw a heart in the sky/clouds last week and wished so badly I had my camera with me :)
ReplyDeleteAnd what a wonderful treasure it is to see beauty in the ordinary things!
This post made me smile!
ReplyDeleteThe other day my Baby Girl was finishing her Lucky Charms (as a snack) and with the last few little bits she would circle them in the bowl and then we would try pick out the shapes. I would never have come up with that idea on my own. I wish I could see things through the eyes of a child every day.
ReplyDeleteThe faces of my kids as they sleep - no matter how frustrated they made me when awake!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I need to open my eyes more...
ReplyDeleteso cool! i love the first and last picture so much! now i'll have an excuse to wait on doing the dishes, haha
ReplyDeleteThis morning I was waiting at a red light behind a car that had what I think was supposed to be a Christian message. I looked at the car with the various Christian stickers to make sure. The delivery was not Christian - it was hateful and confrontational. I felt annoyed and judgmental of the people in the car in front of me. At that very moment I looked up and saw the cloudless sky above me marked with a perfect crucifix (don't know if it came from vapor trails or a cloud formation). It reminded me that sometimes people co-op religion to put forth their own angry agenda. I can not change this fact but I can decide to be more gracious in my own life, and to look for the lesson when things (or people) aren't just the way I want them. The sky was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the reminder to stop rushing around and enjoy the beauty in every day. And can I just say I'm thrilled for your advertising!! You're a big girl now, all grown up!!!
