Bit O' Beauty

Yesterday was a kind of crappy day. Had to reprimand an employee. Pay bills. Run 4011 errands. But through it all, I searched for beauty. Saw some ice melting in the sun and yanked Paula to the side of the road to take its picture. Trotted across the street to get a close look at the grass in my neighbor's yard. Stared at the rime of ice on the pond.

Beauty sure is a day brightener.

Happy to see you're giving that camera a work out...

Great photo to offset your crappy day.

Love you.

Reprimanded an employee, you say? This, too, can be a beautiful moment.

Trying taking pictures of the sparkling tears when they drip down the cheeks.

YOU are a day brightener!

Something tells me your reprimand was deserved and well-received. You don't strike me as the mean employer type.

Also, from Portland, I notice the blue sky in the photo, too. A dearly appreciated thing from here. Beautiful.

Yes, it sure is.

I was going to comment on the beautiful golden image above but Mystic has me laughing like Riley and Seth trying to drink their morning orange juice.

They have an unspoken contest, to see who can make the other one laugh, spit it out, and get in trouble.

So glad you're sharing your beauty with us. Nothing like a slice of blueberry sky to ease the pinch of a crappy day.
