Everything is Beautiful!!!

Everything is Beautiful

You may remember, or at one time or another, may have heard the song from many years back that stated: “Everything is beautiful in its own way”, and “beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”.  It was written by Ray Stevens.

That song sings through my brain some days when walking StoneWater Beach at the Gardens at Waters East.  Looking down while hiking along, one can find a million different stones, plants, many pieces of driftwood, living and yes dying or even dead objects that grab attention.

This posting is “looking with a different eye” to see what is often passed by as one hikes along the shore.  Some may find beauty in everything posted today, others may find that that is not the case.  However for the sake of the song, here is what was found on recent walks.

Maybe the photos will bring moments of reflection to your mind that even surprises you - - as they did me.  The challenge is to see the beauty in the natural.












NOTE:   All photos use in this posting were taken on the property of Gardens at Waters East
unless otherwise marked.
NOTE:   Since this Blog is meant to be an accurate journal of the gardens;
no photos are “staged”, “arranged”, or ”photo-shopped” in anyway.
What is posted – is what it here.  It is what it is.

  1. Everything is beautiful; so very true. Even rusty objects and bones have a beauty hard to define. Stay warm this weekend, what a difference a few hours makes!

  3. Schöne und interessante Dinge finden sich bei dir am Seeufer.
    Wenn ich Steine suchen möchte, dann muss ich an die Ostsee fahren.
    Danke für den besonderen Blick auf das sonst oft übersehene Treibgut.
    Viele Grüße,

  4. That picture of the pebbles with holes in it looks like a recent query in The New Scientist. What is it?

  6. Walking in Cape Point nature reserve we saw one of those plastic fish.
    Disconcertingly real to look at! We handed it in for proper disposal. I hate to think of some poor sea creature eating another chunk of our plastic waste.

    But all the rest - yes - beauty.
