Surrounded by beauty

Not a single day goes by when I don't feel overwhelmed by beautiful things.

Nature is a great font of beauty - from the iridescent colours of a butterfly's wing to the bruised look of a sky behind storm clouds, the endless catalogue of wonders on display never ceases to amaze me. The resplendence of Nature is truly magical and awe-inspiring.

From magnificent landscapes... 




to amazing animals....




from the micro...

and macro...

to the mega...

from under the oceans...


to human achievement...


and beyond into the Universe...




back to earth and beautiful people...
like my cousin Lisandra
and my friend Claudia
and my son Matthew...


A wonderful and magical world. 

Nature;
 Sublime, incredible, amazing, all powerful and...
completely true!


With so much wonder and magic all around us, it is sad to think some people choose to overlook it all and seek inspiration and meaning from a mythical
heaven and it's omnipotent imaginary occupant.

    1. Hi Angeline, the photo was taken nearly 2 years ago and he is 15 in August. Still the most beautiful person, in every possible way :)
