Discovery through others!

When I visited Monet Gardens in France in 2007, I enjoyed taking pictures of all the beautiful flowers. 
Can you see the white moth in the lower left hand corner?   Interestingly enough, when I took the photograph I did not notice it!  I was so delighted to be at Monet gardens and excited to take pictures that I missed this small, but fun detail.  It was only when my mother was looking at the picture and talked about the butterfly that I too saw it!  Sometimes that is the way it is in life.  We get so caught up in things around us that we miss something small and beautiful! Then someone else points it out to us!  How delightful when we can take in others' observations and learn new things. Be careful not to miss the opportunities that come your way.

  1. Wow! I agree with this mindset! How ironic, that today, I even mentioned that I thought maybe I had helped a friend see the beauty in life by viewing a bloom in her plant! I admire that you enjoy sharing beauty.
