{this moment] see beautiful

i snapped this picture in jfk. the reason i see beautiful in it is because i went to ny to see daughter #2. landing in new york meant i was that much closer to her and that i would be seeing her as soon as i could get a taxi ride to her apt!


my father was a photographer and he taught me to see beautiful in things we see every day without really seeing. when i saw this manhole cover in new york, i thought of him. the few leaves & the bricks placed so haphazardly all add to the beauty of the photo.


last month i shared a picture of an ugly orange dog caterpillar. this month i'd like to share what that caterpillar will turn into. i caught this swallowtail butterfly flying around the same orange tree that last months orange dog was living in.


i found this leaf bug resting on my patio pillow. last month's orange dog caterpillar looked like bird poop, now i found a bug that looks like a leaf! hey you insects, you have very clever disguises.


and of course i see beautiful in my little bailey.

  1. They are truly beautiful images. Since I started painting again I see the world in a whole new way. You are right, there is beauty in the most unlikely places.

  6. I think the manhole cover photo would be really cool in black and white too. The insects are amazing and you are so lucky to be good at spotting them - keep them coming!
