Surprised By Beauty: It's the Little Things

This week I saw these.

Perhaps my favorite thing about carrying my camera everywhere I go is the eye I have developed because of it. An eye for spotting the little things. The way a fern is unfurling, or an orange flower that stands out against an old piece of wood.

I look up at the sky more often.

I look down at the ground.

I stop.

I am always waiting to be surprised by beauty.

It's everywhere. Really it is.

I take great joy in the beauty I find in nature. It fills my soul.

But there is beauty in my everyday also.

That, after all, is the whole reason I blog. To celebrate the beauty in my everyday.

So, for the next few weeks, I am going to change up the images in this series. Instead of my finds from nature, I will post some things beautiful from my everyday.

And I will ask you, what is beautiful in your everyday?

Think about it. That's your homework.

I'm sure we should all be happy as kings."
