Love the title of this post and it’s so very true. When I look around at nature and my loved ones, I don’t see anything ugly either. When we look with love, nothing can be ugly. 😀
Love the quotes and as always your shots are filled with mystery and wonders and it makes you think a lot. Thanks for sharing. 😀 ♥
Same here, Sonel. I see beauty all over, every day. That’s so true- when we look with love, nothing can be ugly. 😀
So glad you enjoyed the wee quotes and photos. Thanks so much for visiting. Your words are always such a delight. Thank you for fluttering by. Jubilant cheers,
Autumn Jade
Like especially the last one with the spider.
Thank you! That one is my favourite, too. It had just rained and everything was glittering as evening began to bruise the heavy sky with a somber blue. A burst of sunlight suddenly spilled through in a final wink of golden glory before the coming night and the spiders began to dance all over. It was lovely. Thank you for drizzling by! All the best,

Love how you paired the quotes and photos!❤️💛❤️
Thanks so much!! I tried to write something but well, the words wouldn’t come, so I took refuge in the wise words of many others before me. Luckily, there is quite a wealth of wisdom out there to dip into. Thanks so much for sluicing by and for the deeply kind words. All the best and happy weekend,

I love quotes – in fact, I consider myself a quote hoarder. I rather like that title. Thank you again for creating amazing posts – enjoy following your blog! 🙂
…so right…so true…
Aye aye. Thanks so much for your lovely visit and having a look. All the best,
Autumn Jade
I’ve missed you! Wonderful post .. Love your images
Thank you so much Julie. I’ve missed you too and am looking forward to a long jaunt through your garden! Thanks for swimming by and having a wee glisk about. I so enjoy your visits. Joyous cheers to you and happy weekend,
Autumn Jade
so true love the accompanying images
Thank you so much!!
There is plenty of ugliness when we take a broad overview of a scene, but when we get close and look for it, beauty is there. I’m not so sure about blodied bodies. I think one would have to be a bigger artist than I am to see the beauty in that. Love your pictures, and accompanying thoughts, as usual. 🙂 Happy holidays AJ 🙂
I am not such an artist either. I cannot see anything of beauty in the sight of a mangled corpse, or in a jaggy landscape ravaged by war…even the most “vicious” deed committed by an animal or a force of nature has some course of beauty running through it, but the worst of man…I find it difficult to divine any sense of beauty in that…except, perhaps, the beauty in those who come together to help. Thanks so much for your kind and thoughtful words. I am delighted that you visited. Your comments are an absolute thrill. Thanks so much. Happy and joyous holidays to you! All the best,
