Read MoreBeauty is in the eye of the beholder. If ten people were questioned on beauty, their answers would not be the same or possibly not even similar. What one thinks is beautiful changes over the course of a person’s life. Also one’s place in life would surely affect their definition of beauty. A homeless person might think an act of kindness is beautiful; a hungry person-food, a lonely person- a thoughtful gesture, or a sick person-healing.
At this age where I am pleasantly planted, beauty has an entirely different meaning than in the days of my younger self. Now, beauty has a lot to do with compassion, simplicity, and genuine kindness.
In this image the beauty of the cow caring for her newborn calf touches me and warms my heart. The calf, just minutes into this world is receiving love and protection from the cow. The cow cleans the calf and eats all evidence of the birth in order to protect the calf from predators. It was a beautiful image to capture.
“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
