Looking for Beauty



Saturday I decided it was much to beautiful a day to be inside. Children with RAD have trouble finding the beauty in a day. I decided Taz and I should go for a walk. We walked down by the river a few blocks from our house. His job was to look for beautiful things for me to take pictures of. He started off having a hard time but was really good at it by the time we were done.


A child out walking with her dad. I kept wondering if they were close. I hope so.



Leaves in the park
I added this picture for Denise who loves old barns.

We need to teach our children to find the beauty in every day. Sometimes we even have to remind ourselves to find it : )

What a great idea, to have Taz look for the beautiful things you could photograph! Hope it's ok I"m going to borrow this idea for my girl!

I hope Taz picked the father/daughter shot. That is a wonderful thing to find beauty in.

Awwwww...Thanks Brenda!!! You are so sweet and thoughtful! I love all the pics and wonder how many more hidden talents you are going to surprise us with!?! :)

Thanks for the kind words all. I'm afraid Taz did not pick the father daughter shot. He told me not to take a picture of them. It was weird. My camera is a Cannon Elph. I'm still learning how to use the features. It is easy to take good pictures when you are working with such beautiful scenery.
