Beauty


“One does not see anything until one sees its beauty.” Oscar Wilde

Welcome to
Sky Watch Friday, where bloggers from all over find the beauty in their own view of the sky.

A very early morning sunrise on the beaches of northern NSW Australia.

Hi Pearl Maple
Serene- Pretty composition with those trees.
(BTW, I adore pearls and see them so lovely in your blog header. I often use pearls in the jewelry I make.)

Funny to think that the seasons are reversed. That's one place I still need to visit.

I've often said that 'looking' and 'seeing' are very different things... your words reminded me of that today... a very beautiful capture..
