Beauty of Rainbows and Other Water

I need more beauty in my life. This may seem odd to people who know me well, and would say that I have a lot of beauty in my life. I do, but I need more. I have been thinking about this off and on for months. It is time I do something about it. And it has occurred to me that I have an opportunity to gather beauty from images right here on the blog.

Reading another blog tonight caused me to consider thinking about this in terms of different kinds of beauty. I think I’ll start with rainbows. Maybe they’re on my mind because I just saw one Friday night.

Thinking about rainbows made me think more about water, which led me to sort out some other photos. I know I have a lot of pix of water. One of the ones I thought of immediately was the pond at the artist’s retreat I went to last year. A quick google search found the blog entry about my little cabin in the woods where I spent a week without running water – something my brother, Jim, still can’t believe.

But, the photo I was thinking of from the pond there isn’t on the blog. So, I went into my photo archives and pulled it out. I have even used this as a background on some business cards.

There are other water related photos to share. I can think of river ones right off the top of my head, and I know there are others. I also have tons of pix – like these pond ones – that never make it onto the blog. I have the best of intentions, but life keeps moving at a pace that means there is something new to blog every day so they never get used. I have a lot of water photos taken at the Portland Chinese Garden that would be perfect to illustrate the beauty of water, too.

Maybe I need to make this a regular feature on the blog. It’s kind of nice to have a reason to look back at older posts.

One of the things on my continual to-do list is to make a “favorite posts” list so people could easily go to them. There are some things that continually show up in the stats as posts that get a lot of hits. Maybe one of these days I’ll finally get that done.
