Seeing the beauty around

in Beauty, Just thinking, Travel

Every area has its own unique beauties.

This morning as we drove around, the trees and flowers in the gardens called to me.

We turned a corner and there was a lovely water fall fountain, maybe 5 feet cubed in size. It was built similar to a pyramid with each increasing size a step. The water flowed across and down and in the flowing were splashes of light, like diamonds. The time of day was perfect to see this. And if I'd been looking the other way or blinked, I would have missed it.

It was nice that someone thought enough of the passersby to make this little spot so lovely. I appreciated it!

What about your area do you appreciate? What would you show me if I came to visit?
