Beauty right on my own dining table: sparkly balls to celebrate the season. Fun!

Feeling very proud of myself. The cold continues, but my attitude is improving. I’m able to see the splendor of this icicle at dawn, right on my front porch. Beautiful!

Chickadee eating in the cold. Have to appreciate such a hardy little bird.

Cold. It’s. Just. Plain. Cold. Around -20 F, or -29 C. I am trying hard to appreciate the day today, and the beauty is pretty lost to me. The fire, and its heat, speaks to me in a very fundamental way on mornings like this. There is nothing really very pretty at all in this photo, I know. But the assignment was to find beauty, every day–and I congratulate myself on remembering it on a day I’d prefer to avoid.

I brought these water plants in from our water feature this past fall. They were spectacular, just too big and lush to let die when the cold set in. In spite of the fairly smelly water (and I really am changing it completely very often), they are fun to see inside. A bit of green, juxtaposed against the snow right outside the windows.

Fascinated by the way the snow was held on the individual branches when I looked closely this morning.

Just made me smile… and I thought that earned it a “beauty of the day” award.

Another cold and crisp day, another night of classes in the downtown. This church steeple downtown looks good all year–they even just held a major fundraising campaign to fix up the 100-year-old steeple. It was easy to see beauty in this one. My daughter liked it, too.

Ice outside the window, with the sunrise coming up. This is one of those shots that is not as pretty on the screen as it was in the morning. I stopped my middle child, just as he was getting out of bed. “Isn’t it pretty?” I asked him. (He groggily mumbled yes, not nearly as impressed as I was.)

Snow sticking on the bird feeder… fun & beautiful.
