We are so over whelmed by the "gizmos and gadgets" we use today that we look so beyound nature and its beauty. What are some of the prettiest things you can think of, maybe some outfit in the mall or that boy or girl in that store. we can find beauty everywhere except where it is clearly visible. Have you ever got up in the morning just to watch the sun rise or late in the afternoon to watch it set,on a clear day looked at the beauty of the sky, how so many shades of blue can blend together. Look at the trees at the photo and look at the sky, does it not seem to have a soul itself almost like every creature that lives there lives as one spirit. This photo gives me a feeling of unity and a spirit of elegance. I feel like nature is a lot like a persons inner beauty, Its never really looked at even though its always there. we sometimes look at natures negatives without trying to find positive. once you isolate yourself from all other distractions you can find the beauty that isnt very well hidden, we must be relatively blind not to see it. Relating this photo to society is not easy (if it can be done at all). Nature is so beautiful and elegant; its creatures only live because of it and even in death return to it to nourish what has nourished their lives from birth to death. Society on the other hand is horrid and tacky. The creatures that inhabit society only rob the earth of its riches and replenish nothing in return. How does one begin to compare such a beautiful aspect of life to such a ugly and despicable one. We are the superior species, the role models of nature, and yet we are the ones who destroy with no content for the well being of nature. Look at the photo how all the plants live harmoniously in this tight space they share together. In society could we live elbow to elbow without destroying the lives of others?
