How true this is, no matter what it is, for beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
It can be a strand of lustrous pearls, it can be a flower with crystal dewdrops on its petals in the early morning. It can be a beautiful fiery sunset or frozen icicles shimmering in the weak winter light.
It just takes a few moments to pause and observe the beauty around us, the beauty of Mother Nature,
or the lovely smile of a child looking at you in pure innocence.
Sometimes the natural beauty of the environs makes me pause in awe. Surely a divine Hand must have been at work to create such wonders. The crystal clear emerald waters of the lakes and thundering waterfalls in Juizhaigou in China are a great tourist lure.
Flowers of different varieties arranged in artful presentations are also awesome. Here the beauty of nature and the creativity of man result in a different kind of beauty. Hence international flower shows are also another draw.
It is great that modern technology has enabled us to capture that beauty in the camera lens and preserved that moment in time so that when we look at those photos, it triggers the memories of the times when we were actually there, seeing the “real thing”. These are rainbow daubs on the canvas of our memory.
