Slow Down, Look Closely, Enjoy...

There is beauty everywhere!

Too often we rush through life and don't slow down and see what is all around us. This afternoon I decided to take a walk and see what I could see if I looked closer than usual.

I was surprised at what there was to see!


First, I walked down the train tracks next to a trucking company.



I noticed some dead vines on the fence so I walked over closer...




And this is what I saw.




Then I saw a rock.



Next to the rock was a little speck of purple...



I bent over and saw this.



I looked over the other direction and saw something laying on the ground.




It was an old power pole cross arm.



I got down closer and saw this...



I looked off to the side.



I noticed a white spot.



I got down on my knees and looked closer...


I walked a little further. In the dead brush I saw something.



When I got closer it looked like some kind of lichen.



I think that's what it is...



I walked down a little gravel path.




When I looked closer I saw some little green spots.



Bending down I saw these really cool moss plants!



On the way back home I was walking through a field.



I noticed some interesting plants.




It had rained earlier. I saw that some of the plants had water on them.



When I got down on the ground and looked really close, this is what I had the pleasure of seeing!


I'm just curious.

Are YOU looking close enough? I sure hope so!
