A Different Kind of Beauty

The first few days here have been graced with sun, rain showers, and temperatures warmer than i am used to this time of year. 
 It is a bit like heaven.

 Walking to an evening meeting under the cherry blossoms rather than driving 9 miles is a plus.



 I am relishing living among so many deciduous trees after twenty years in a place abounding only in evergreens. 


 One comes upon interesting sights along every way.

 These sculptures are lying around in a yard not far from my new rental house.

 
 We got over to Green Lake for a lovely walk on Tuesday afternoon.

 The turtles were out basking on logs.

 My home in Alaska is so beautiful, it's delightful to find a different but equal beauty here in my new home!
Happy day to all!

Beauty DC

'You know life is what you make of it
So beautiful or so what'  - Paul Simon

More beautiful than the scenery of my island home...



... more beautiful than a break through at the studio...

... our children!
both passionate about their college studies, both kind, loving, and healthy
In beauty I walk.
With beauty before me, I walk.
With beauty behind me, I walk.
With beauty below me, I walk.
With beauty all around me, I walk. 
-Navajo prayer (excerpt)
 
I thank God every day for the beauty around me!  And I thank Nadine for this drawing challenge.  Do go visit her for many more reflections on the topic by makers of beautiful and provocative art.
