I am a huge fan of the theory that beauty is in the eye of the beholder... and I think that, very often, when we see something every day, our eyes get used to that beauty and we don't see it. Yesterday was one of those amazingly beautiful, late fall... darn near winter... days here. I thought I'd share some of the beauty that it held for me..... the streets of my neighborhood on my morning drive to work...
...still wearing some of their finest fall colors as the dawn breaks over their beauty...
... the moon setting in the west... as it is driven out of the morning sky by the sun...
... the same sun that is lighting the sky on fire in the east as it begins its trek across the morning sky...
...washing the normal sights with its golden hue...
...the early morning shadows stretching across the quad just outside my office window...
... the clouds blowing in that afternoon getting ready for the storm that's predicted overnight...
... the waning sun spreading some of the last warm rays of the day on those same streets of my neighborhood on my way home...
... and, at the end of the day, the glow of the huge full moon as it begins its ascent across the dark and ever more cloud filled sky...
Beauty, regardless of the eye beholding...

Your pictures portray a day of beauty that yes we all take for granted....Thanks for letting us go along with you for the ride.....
Hi, It's been a while since I've visited my internet friends. I've actually been thinking of you. You have been a source of inspiration and encouragement. I hope this post finds you well and happily creating and dreaming as usual.
I love the photos. They reflect the mellow moods of autumn...just before the big storm that puts a foot of snow on your driveway.
Hugs.

That red tree looks fabulous - most of the trees visible from my windows have lost the majority of their leaves and don't look anything like as spectacular
Guess the saying "can't see the forest for the trees" should be taken more literally! Lovely pics!
Your blog is so lovely...and your pictures are simply amazing.
Thank you for sharing your awareness. I like to see the beauty in little things, small moments, so this was right up my alley. Beautiful.
I so appreciate your very kind comments y'all.
It's become downright cold and blustery here today, so all those beautiful leaves are fallen, and right now the day just feels cold and grey. I guess winter must arrive sometime...
Thanks again for all of your very sweet comments, it really makes this blogging adventure so worthwhile!
