Eye of the Beholder

What I see through a camera lens is not always pretty.  Viewing the world through a camera lens is not always filled with color.  The desert landscape is drab, colorless,  has no life........Finding beauty in the desert is left up to the individual.    

The desert uses a color palette of brown, with splatters of red, orange, yellow thrown in the mix.   Mountains are not always covered with green foliage.  They also can be huge masses of rock, fused together over centuries of time.  When driving through a mountain pass and you come upon a sign that says "watch for Falling Rock(s)"....keep in mind that there is an Indian princess just waiting to be found by the name of Falling Rock.  My father took great delight in telling me that story each and every time we ventured through a mountain pass that had the falling rock signs posted.   As a little girl, I believed him.  I believed there really was an Indian princess out there waiting to be found.  No clue that it really meant watch for the damn rocks falling off the mountain side.  

Life can be colorful or dull with no sense of well being.  It's what you make out of it  You want things cut and dried, then life will be black and white.  You want excitement, life will be have a color scheme for you.......

There is beauty in everything, well just about everything.  Find the beauty in your life.  It's true what they say.........Beauty is in the eye of the beholder................find yours.  I find mine through the lens of my camera and by just looking around, looking up, and seeing what's around me...........
