RANDOM BEAUTY


It truly amazes me at how much beauty there is in the world and how much we take for granted every day.  I took this picture visiting Truth or Consequences, New Mexico a few months back and I'm not sure I truly appreciated just how beautiful this scene was at the time.  


Looking it over today I realized how fortunate I was to have been able to have been there on such a calm day to actually capture this serene scene with my camera.  And then I realized just how much beauty I take for granted every day, not just that which the eye can see, but all that the senses can take in; a child's voice saying, "I love you, Mom," the sound of rain falling against the desert floor, the scent of clean air, the gentle touch of a loved one, the taste of favorite foods.  I could go on all day, but I won't.


Take in the beauty around you today and every day and realize how wonderful it is to be a part of it all.
