Appreciate Everyday's Beauties

[Swing Kitten]

What is the most beautiful thing you saw today?

If nothing comes to mind then keep an aye open for it tomorrow and everyday after that and report back here. ;)

Such miraculous things surround us... how often it seems that no one pays attention. Take a close look around.

[Sagitta]

The gentle touch of a drizzle. The wet greenery. Drip, drip. :)

[Genesius Redux]

My dog's eyes.

I was walking to the parking lot after work with two of my co-workers when this very beautiful young woman walked by, and I looked her right in the eyes and gave her my best charming smile. She gave me one back that nearly made me lose my composure, and one of my co-workers looked at me and said "hey, that girl was smiling at you!"

I don't know why...but it certainly was wonderful, and it did make my day. :wink:

I don't know why...but it certainly was wonderful, and it did make my day. :wink:

Soooooooo SG. I guess young beautiful women (or should that be very beautiful young women :wink: ) smiling at you is not an everyday occurance? :roll: :lol: Thanks for the advance notice :lol:

[peachexploration]

Beautiful white fragant blossoms of my blackberry vine growing on my patio. :D

[ShyDancer]

My smiling 3 year olds face at 4.47am (exactly) this morning asking if the easter bunny was bring anymore eggs today :D

[Sagitta]

A genuine smile on the young single mom who wanted her dance fix tonight. :D

[peachexploration]

The soothing sound of wind chimes on my patio. :)

[Swing Kitten]

Keep it up all of you... :D it warms my heart to read all the contributions thus far.

New england has a greater diversity of birds than I'm used to in Sacramento... they are a delight to see. today I saw a bright crimson cardinal on the fence right outside my apartment door.

[oh_the_humanity...]

This morning I woke up, as usual, to two hyperactive Dalmatians play-fighting. (In my bed, of course, and tromping all over me in the process--I've got a plethora of bruises to prove it.) Their rather heated discussion was over just who gets to give me the coveted first lick of the day. (The "consolation prize" is getting to bathe one of my Cornies before he runs away screaming for help.)

Any creature that fights over getting to sniff my ghastly morning breath is absolutely, positvely, ravenously beautiful in my eyes.

[Swing Kitten]

Welcome to the forums oh the humanity... and congrats on have having two very affectionate pups!! :lol:

[Swing Kitten]

I saw the sun today! :D

[Sagitta]

Me too! Lots of it. I absconded from work for a little while to enjoy it. :twisted:

[Genesius Redux]

Gorgeously beautiful day in Nashville. Around 72 (Fahrenheit), sunny, and green to the very door. 8)

Birds are cool indeed :wink:

Down here in Atllanta, I see lots of mockingbirds, bluejays, the occasional cardinal as well as hawks and the occasional turkey vulture. When I lived up in MA, I actually saw a few owls which was really cool.

I love the woods and vegetation down here too, dogwoods like mad and all kinds of regal looking trees.

I enjoy my housemates 2 cats Maynard (looks like a grey bear), and Beaumont (looks like a black panther). They're so much fun.

[Genesius Redux]

A lovely warm day in Nashville--the breeze thick with pollen. There's life all around.

[Sagitta]

The crispness of the night air after a night dancing to one's love...of letting time flow by, of feet floating on air and dancing of the soul...faint salsa tunes leaking out, wafting you homeward.

[Sabor]

:D aaah beautiful thread! :D

well for me today.. it was looking at my face in the mirror after my morning shower.. LMAO! ok..ok i'm obviously kidding :bouncy:

[Pacion]

:shock: You really mean what you saw "through a mistedup mirror" wasn't beautiful/handsome? :twisted: :lol:

I always look like Elizabeth Taylor (in her youth!) depending on how much soap I got into my eyes :lol:

[Swing Kitten]

today I stopped and watched bumble bees move quickly from pink blossom to blossom...

I also saw a tree whose blossoms look like daisies! it's strange to see daisies growing on a tree

[ShyDancer]

My beautiful girl, after not seeing me for a few hours jumping into my arms and screaming "I missed you Mama" and giving me a big hug :D

(see these are the moments you chersih forever)

A rude awakening from the sun when all you want is to get some more sleeping done? :? :oops:

[Flat Shoes]

A cold bear at the end of a though day. :wink:

[Flat Shoes]

Yes, I admit that is not lifting my eyes and appreciating the beauty around me.... Maybe tomorrow :D

[Swing Kitten]

cold bear?

Smart aleck! :roll: :wink:

Another of life's beauties: spell checker (or the edit function LOL) I'd be dead in the water without them. 8)

nothing beutiful through my eyes today :sniff:

You're wrong SK . . . look in the mirror.

oohh!! cold beer! It honestly didn't cross my mind... I thought i thought I was missing something

[salsachinita]

:? .......but both BEER & BEAR will come out correct on spell check.....

*besides, his avatar teddy threw me on that one for a second as well :wink: *

[Sagitta]

Well beer and dancing don't mix. Anyway, not for me. I tried it out again and struggled away. :?

[Flat Shoes]

cold bear?
Now I could point at my picture and just smile, pretending that I meant exactly what I said. But since that guy obviously could never be cold, I will have to admit it was a spelling error. :D

Maybe brought forward by the aforementioned beer. :P

[Flat Shoes]

Well beer and dancing don't mix. Anyway, not for me. I tried it out again and struggled away. :?

Agreed, I never get drunk before dancing. If I drink beer before dancing, it's always accompanying dinner. And its always just one or two beers. I don't want my partners to have to endure beer breath while dancing with me.

[Bob]

I saw my daughter smile when my son was trying to sound out the word "muffler" and it came out "muffin".

[pygmalion]

That's sweet. :D

[cocodrilo]

The wisteria is now in full bloom in my little corner of Japan. If you have never seen it, it grows on a trellis and hangs down, in elegant pale-purple and white clusters, the blossoms tapering off in size as the flowers grow longer. The fragrance is incredible- a perfumey-grape sort of aroma which fills the entire neighborhood. This is truly one of my favorite times in Japan, when the wisteria blossom. (BTW, my official married name, although I don't use it, is "Fujioka", which means "wisteria hill" in Japanese!)

[salsachinita]

I have them in my garden too! Love them!

But it's getting really cold so no flowers :( .

[cocodrilo]

But it's getting really cold so no flowers :( .

How lucky! I don't have them because it's quite a chore to grow them well(in Japan, anyhow), but I am glad just to be able to smell the sweet fragrance as I cycle the neighborhoods that DO have them! Do you have a trellis?

I have 2 blossoming cherry trees, an herb garden, a camellia "tree", fragrant olive tree, bonsai pine, sansho(Japanese pepper), kumquat, but no fuji trellis!!! :cry:

[salsachinita]

Do you have a trellis?

Not really.......they are just 'perched' on some bamboo sticks :roll: . Dad is no gardening expert. At least they are alive and pretty :P !

[mhgroove]

Listening to the Pat Metheny Group while driving on the interstate. Pat Metheny Group has always been my favorite musical group and it's wonderful to listen to especially during rush hour traffic. It's eliminates any thoughts of road rage!!!

Oh. now THAT'S a band! I've loved them since I was in high school & have seen them perform live in San Francisco many times and even several times here in Japan!!! :D

Cocodrilo,

I'm listening to the Imaginary Day CD while I'm typing this post! They are the best! I'm jealous..that you got to see them live! I had 2 chances to see them when I used to live in Albuquerque, NM and I missed them. I know PMG is releasing a new CD soon and hopefully they will come to San Antonio when go on tour. Have a good one!

[Sagitta]

80 degree day with sunshine. :D Biking and no car!! :)

[Genesius Redux]

I got an email today from a dancer friend who sent me a couple of poems she had written. It was a gesture of trust and that was the most beautiful thing I saw today. She knows who she is--so let me say this here without embarrassing her: You have a beautiful soul.

[squirrel]

maybe because it's a nice day, i saw so many beautiful things...
mi querido still asleep while I bent to kiss him (I was going to work :cry: )
my two kitties sleeping one over the other on the mattress...

I have 2 kitties too! :D
Seeing their furry little mugs ANYTIME puts me in a good mood!

[squirrel]

I just love kitties... when they play, fight, sleep... they're always cute (except for the moments they start meowing or fighting at 4pm...) and I don't think I could ever live without them!
One of them always sleeps with me... on my hair, or on my belly... depends on his mood

My kitties get the run of my living/diningroom kitchen, bathroom & utility room. Cats tend to wake me up so I give them their own space, and I have mine! I used to sleep with cats but they'd bite me & wake me up at ungodly hours (FOOD, man, we need FOOD!!!) or stick their whiskers in my face or chew on my hair! I've had my share of adorable but bratty cats! :lol:

[squirrel]

:) bratty, that's the correct word for them cats!
Unfortunately, I cannot make a separation between my space and theirs... I live in a studio... so... :(

The ducks swimming in the early evening at Centennial Park.

[Sagitta]

Biking past the waterfall on a sunny 68 degree day -- misting -- cool -- not a care in the world. :)

[Bob]

(yesterday)

Walking through the woods with a map and compass, the first really nice day I have spent outside this year~~

[Sagitta]

Walking home on a cool night after my latin dance. The coolness of the breeze, the people in the bars, then the quiet streets. A change from the blare of the pulsating music, the sweating bodies, the heat and straining fans, the slightly sticky floor...

Time for bed. :wink: :)

[Sagitta]

Biking up and down along the sun dappled trails during 60 degree weather. Not too many people as Cornell and Ithaca students are gone, and graduating seniors are probably busy with family and getting reday to get out of here. :)

[spatten]

After four of five weeks of almost no sleep - the simple act of waking up rested and seeing the sunrise is so powerful like being made hole again.

[MacMoto]

On Sunday, I was working in my garden and it started to rain. I cursed, sighed and stood up to run for cover. When I looked up, there was a perfect double rainbow against the grey sky right in front of me.

[cocodrilo]

I just observed my cat having what must've been a really bad dream! Although it was fitful sleep for her, I was pleasantly entertained! :lol:

[Swing Kitten]

I gtet to see my cats now :) (they sleep sprawled out on their backs-- I love petting cat bellies!)

[Sagitta]

Not many people appreciating everyday beauties? Or too busy appreciating them to write about them? :?

[cocodrilo]

I appreciated the 2 weeks of almost PERFECT weather in London- very NOT like London. It was warm and sunny almost the entire time I was there. Good thing I brought a lot of skinny summer stuff(and my sunscreen!). Returned to Japan amidst a typhoon(a bumpy flight from Seoul!!!) and we've got a zillion percent humidity and RAIN now. Don't appreciate that much, but at least it's a bit cooler... :?

[Sagitta]

Sunny London!!! I've been a couple times and each time it was gloomy and gray and wet and...

Enjoyed biking around for a short while before getting ready for tonight. Weather was just warm enough, and sunny, warm on my skin, yet not burning. Riding by the waterfall was even better. :)

[Pacion]

Sunny London!!!

Hurrump! Looks like the sun got up and left when Cocodrilo left :evil: :lol:

It has been raining and blowy, yuck. The running joke though is that Wimbeldon started on Monday :lol: and traditionally, it always rains. I think there is only one year when it didn't rain? Oh, and looking on the bright side, the car looks cleaner on the outside for some strange reason. :lol:

[salsachinita]

So, Pacion & Cocodrilo.......

Did you two managed to meet up in London....?

Enquiring minds are bored right now :wink: !

[cocodrilo]

Unfortunately, I didn't meet up with any of the DF members. This was a trip I intended to spend only with my mom, as I hadn't seen her for over two years. On my next trip there(in Europe quite often!), most definitely!

[Sagitta]

Cool sunny weather. A brief gray curtain of clouds and wetness - hard big pellets stinging - then gleaming droplets glistening on glass as the sun shines through my window while I sit tapping away listening to 'ole Bobby Valentin... :)

[Sagitta]

Today was a lovely day. Cool and sunny!! The Ithaca weather has been great this summer. Biking along the forested paths - bliss. :D

The music has been shut off and the crickets pierce the night, interspersed with the sounds of one car, then another, going by. Nature in the middle of a little city. :D

[Pacion]

Yesterday, I left work early (for me) for the fourth/fifth time in ages. Early = almost half an hour after the official end of my day :lol:

Anyway, it has started getting dark and to the right of one of the buildings, amongst all the hussle and bussle of rushhour traffic and people going home, I looked up and saw the moon in a cloud free sky! It was low, it was huge :shock: and I do not know if it was full moon or new moon but it was beautiful! :banana: it made me smile and I thought for a moment that I could see a man on a bicycle travelling in front of it, :wink: but then I blinked and the image of the man and bicycle was gone, with the moon there lighting up the sky and giving hope...

[MacMoto]

I looked up and saw the moon in a cloud free sky! It was low, it was huge :shock: and I do not know if it was full moon or new moon but it was beautiful! [/img]
I noticed it last night too! :banana: The sky wasn't quite cloud free but was clear around the moon. And the moon looked huge! It wasn't quite full but almost (full moon is tonight -- did you know that October's full moon is called "the hunter's moon"?).

[Swingolder]

We, here in the US get a total eclipse of the moon tonight so that should be an interesting Hunter's Moon (or also Blood Moon).
Clouds are in the forecast, however, but we can hope they clear up by sunset.

[cocodrilo]

Saw a lot of totally obscure sights today- started off my morning by hopping the 7:30am streetcar to look out the window & see a guy dressed up as a giant red pepper. Later on in the day, I spot a truck with the phrase "Tofu- the healthy food with a sense of humor" on it. :lol:

[Phil Owl]

Over the last month and a half, there's been a Barred Owl roosting near my home, I can hear him at night sometimes, very cool!

http://www.owlpages.com/species/strix/varia/Default.htm

[cocodrilo]

Those owls(owlets?) are so CUUUUUUTE! (Almost as cute as my cats!) Are you an ornithologist or is owl-watching just a hobby? Do you have pet owls?

[pygmalion]

I went to a workshop at a local national park, which featured owls. Wow. I learned so much about them -- how they range in size from something that could fit in the palm of your hand, to a huge creature. All the different calls. Lots of stuff. Owls are beautiful creatures. :D

[Sagitta]

Sun is shining! A chilly sun afternoon! A balmy 48 degrees. Here bike, here I come! :)

[mambo_munkey]

I've got one :o

A couple of months ago, I went up to Flagstaff with my sister. On the way back home that night, (Its about a 3 hour drive back to Phoenix), I decided to take a look up at the sky. I had never noticed before just how many stars are up there!! (With all the city lighting of Phoenix, you hardly see any stars.) I just had to pull over and gaze. They all looked like crystals. It was truly a beautiful sight. There were so many stars, I hardly saw any sky LOL!!

Man, I wish I could see that all the time... :roll:

[Sagitta]

How often do we get to see the stars in the sky, indeed? Sort of how the everyday realities of life cloud over the crystals of our lives from our vision, how the pollution/smog contaminates our atmosphere. But, then we stop and take the time to look!! Wow! :o :D

[Bob]

Last night I watched some Red Wings play the US national team (average age of 18) for charity at the U of M ice rink. Great fun, sold out crowd, and the kids played with a lot of heart.

They even scored a couple of times!

Owling is a hobby with me.

RE: Keeping owls as pets. Absolutely IMPOSSIBLE (and quite illegal to boot). Owls have always been 100% wild birds and can NEVER be domesticated. The closest I have to a pet Owl is a life-sized plastic Great Horned Owl sitting on my dresser.

[cocodrilo]

Phil-
I saw a documentary about a couple who had several owls here in Japan, but I believe they had some special permission from the parks department. Anyway, they were totally adorable!

[Swing Kitten]

Snow ... the second "first" snow of the season

[Pacion]

Last night, I was walking to my place, around midnight. I looked up, as I like to do and saw loads and loads and loads of stars in a cloudless sky. They look so pretty :shock: I sought out the Orion belt (three stars in a straight line) and also noticed a small cluster/grouping which had me wondering what it was or whether it was a partial sighting of the Milky Way.

Never studied astronomy but boy do I love looking at those stars! :banana: Which reminds me! I haven't seen the Northern star for ages. A few years ago, where I worked, when ever I left during the winter, I could look up and see him/her/it :lol: straight away. But I haven't seen it in a while. I might have to go looking for it - go to a part of town where I can see it :lol:

[Swing Kitten]

:shock: I can't think of anything beutiful today :cry:

[SDsalsaguy]

:shock: I can't think of anything beutiful today :cry:
:cry:

How about kittens? :wink: :D

[pygmalion]

How about semester break? :?

[Swing Kitten]

lol

thanks for trying

[SDsalsaguy]

Ummm....

How about the crisp clean smell of the air after overdue rain?

How about the profound simplicity of human touch?

How about the very abiltiy to dance?

[Bob]

How about:

A leasurely stroll through the woods on a warm summer evening, a gentle breeze rustling through the trees and the melodic sound of water dancing across the rocks on its way to a modest waterfall downstream.

:together:

[Sagitta]

beginning to sound like poetry...

[Swing Kitten]

Ummm....


How about the profound simplicity of human touch?

tomorrow will undoubtedly be better ;)

the bright side was just hiding today

[Pacion]

I am just watching, with half an eye, the European Film Awards 2004. There was a presenter for one the awards - a young guy (early 30s?), bald but my goodness :shock: what beautiful, smiling, expressive eyes! :shock: In my opinion, he makes Yul Brynar look like Frankenstein by comparison :lol:

[pygmalion]

Yes. Let's hear it for beautiful men. And I don't mean feminine men. I mean men in all their beauty. Wow. It's breathtaking when you see it. 8)

[Pacion]

Pygmalion, what was particularly striking (for me) was that he was bald/clean shaven. What eyes :shock: :lol: Can you hear me drooling :lol:

[pygmalion]

Yes. A lot of men hate or deny their baldness. I think it's WAY sexy, on a confident man. 8)

What was the guy's NAME? Yul Brynner was definitely a hunk. Had the very good fortune of seeing him live in "The King & I" in San Francisco when I was in high school. There is nothing worse than a guy with a rug, except when the guy combs over the few remaining hairs to try & conceal the bald spot(thus creating a "bar code" look). Shave it ALL off, guys! Women don't hate baldness, they hate vanity!

[Bob]

I bet it was "Bob"

:shock: :roll: :twisted:


Women don't hate baldness, they hate vanity!

And yet, the cosmetics industry makes billions :wink:

:lol: Thank goodness for repeats! :lol: I didn't catch it last night, but the Awards are on again (repeat!) and the object of my affection is Jean-Marc Barr. (Sorry Bob :wink: ) Naturally I had to google him :lol: and I quote:

Jean-Marc Barr looks excellent for his age of 41. Having starred in The Big Blue and Europa, born from an American father and a French mother, he is a good friend of Lars von Trier, and even a godfather to his children. Barr was also named among the hundred sexiest actors in the history of cinematography by Empire magazine as early as 1995.

He apparently co-starred alongside Jean Reno in The Big Blue.

Oh and the fact that Jean-Marc Barr is Librian, has nothing to do with my rantings and ravings :lol: I only discovered this during my research :lol:

[cocodrilo]

Had to do a search to check out this guy! Although he's not my type, he's a hot-lookin' guy! Looks a tad older than 41 to me, though. (Could be the lack of hair)...Just goes to show you, guys can be sexy without hair!

[Sabor]

Just goes to show you, guys can be sexy without hair!

if we'er talking physically only, then it maybe so.. but rarely.. (like 1/1000 at aabest) not to mention they had to be sexy with hair to begin with..

[KevinL]

I didn't see it, but I heard something great on Monday. A new lady came to a drop-in dance class that I was teaching. When I asked how she found out about it, she said that her co-worker Bob said she should take classes with me.

I know Bob a little, and he and his wife are good local swing dancers, but I had nothing to do with their training. I think they came to one free dance lesson where we covered merengue, which they say they use all the time when swing music isn't playing. I don't think he has much experience with my teaching style, though.

Anyway, the new lady said that Bob told her to take classes with me because "I've seen people who had no business even standing up become able to dance tolerably well after just one or two classes with Kevin."

The fact that someone I respect (but that I wasn't aware thought anything special about my teaching style) said this was really great. It made my day, obviously.

The dense white fog outside. And it is 11:43 AM EST!! A wonderful thing. I'm going to go out to the circ desk and soak the view in as I discharge books. :D

I was talking to someone I met recently and noticed he has such lovely eyes :shock: :lol:

What was different this time round? We were near a window and I could really see the colour of his eyes (my back was to the window).

For a change, I was all "thumbs" when trying to talk to him, :lol: If I was a cube of ice, I would have melted! :lol:

My one thought now? I am glad he does not dance. If I had difficulty talking to him, I would have been a total wreck trying to dance with him! :lol:

[chachabelle]

The horses than ran in the KY Derby today. You know, Kentucky is known for it's fast horses and beautiful women . . . or is that "beautiful horses and fast women"????

[Pacion]

ROTFL!!! :lol:

[Sagitta]

Another gorgeuos day and I'm stuck indoors today... :(

[Leah]

What an awesome thread! Thanks for "resurrecting" it Pacion.

Wouldn't it be a great habit to get into every day, to think back on something that was beautiful?

Many parts of my day were beautiful - walking through my childhood neighborhood in full bloom, seing my next-door neighbor's new grandkids, running in the woods, seeing my big sister in love - but the best was my mother teared up reading our Mother's Day cards!

Sometimes coming home can be great (well at least for a little while ;) )

On Saturday, I was on a bus and there were two girls in the seats front of me. One of the girls was sitting facing back to talk to her friend, so I could see her face, and she had such strikingly beatiful eyes I couldn't take my eyes off her :oops:.
Hope she didn't think I was interested in her... :lol:

It's a lovely sunny day but I've got to get dressed now to go to the dreaded W.O.R.K. :cry:

Still, I've painted my nails bright blue and put silver glitter over the top. A bit juvenile for the office but if blue and silver can't cheer me up nothing will!
