13.9kSome things I think are beautiful.
I'd like for others to participate. I'd like to keep this to visual beauty. Not wonderful, beautiful. Grandchildren and cats are welcome, but only if they are beautiful, even if it's only to you.
Let's keep it to very few words. Let the beauty speak for itself. Captions would be nice, but optional.
I intend this as serious, so no snark. Playful or even funny is good, as long as it's beautiful.

2.7kI find so many things beautiful. I have a lot of little personal ones, like the way a friend of mine stiffens up before laughing at his own joke. There are so many visuals captured in my mind.
The Australian sky at night when there is no light pollution.
Sunrise at Wadi Rum in Jordan. Blew my mind away.
Evie Hammond from V for Vendetta.

6.5kA few aesthetic selections from my phone. Prepare to be blown away.
Our new pup Redi. Adorable, right? and so conscientious about his food.
Weird bird I saw at the beach the other day. Check out that pecker.
I’m guessing this guy’s a plumber. Not classically beautiful, I grant you.
California wildfire smoke last month.
Wildfire smoke as seen from county line (near Malibu). -

Very nice.
How do you get photo files from your computer or phone to load as visible images on a post rather than as files you have to click on to see? Sometimes I can get it to work. Sometimes not.
Edit - Figured it out. -

Not pushing, but personal is fine if you want. For example.
My grandfather's farm on the Chesapeake Bay near Easton, Maryland, USA, where I was born. Sold in mid-1980s. From Google Earth:
If she finds out I posted this, it will end 50 years of friendship:

Redi is adorable. I'm slowly, begrudgingly, becoming a dog person. I still could never own one, though. -

5kNicK and I met in the woods that look over the Oak Creek Canyon in Sedona, which is where we were married 4 yrs later. My parents believed and I believed in a 4 yr engagement which was satisfied and we have been going ever since.
Ever wonder what it looked like to live back in the Hay Day!

13.9kMy dog in Xanadu traipsing the River Alph: — Hanover
Holy smokes. I looked up River Alph and Xanadu - that's bullshit, it says it's in Antarctica. Those are trees and flowers. Then I read down and it says it is in an ice free area. That's amazing. I never knew such a thing existed. Thanks. -

They're strange little curiosities which I purchase regularly for the sole purpose of beginning but never finishing. There's a fine line between ambition, masochism, and denial. -

13.9kOrange does something to me. You talk about favorite colors, but it's something more. It makes me feel at home. It calms me down. It feels like part of me. My soul is orange.
When my children ask me what I want for Christmas, I tell them "something orange." These are gifts from my younger son.
I bought this for my wife a long time ago. She didn't care for it. I love it.
It makes me feel good just to look at these things.
