Treasured Trash

Just as I was about to tear these seasoned sunflowers off the wall, throw the egg shells in the compost and wash the empty jar, I paused each time.  They were so full and alive at one point, just like everything has its time, I guess. 

It’s easy to see beauty in obviously beautiful things – to look out over a mountain top; trees covered in snow and icicles; walking along a shoreline; children sleeping; running horses…  The problem of course is that in life there aren’t enough of these moments, so we have to look for them!   

From a different perspective everything can have beauty.  These three objects definitely wouldn’t hit the tourist guide of Georgina, but they’re just so pretty, I couldn’t help but snap a photo!      

It’s special to find prettiness in ugliness, in something as simple as soon-to-be trash.
