Urban Beauty

Today was a beautiful day, bright and sunny with no clouds in the sky. It was very cold and windy, the kind of day that tugs you outside, almost against your will.
I spent some time with Sister and Nephew walking downtown and admiring the urban beauty. I am used to assuming that beauty can only be found in wild places, in the county, beach, mountains or forests. I am wrong.

Beauty can be found anywhere, in the light playing on a tamed river



In an installation left over from last year's art festival






And in the simple pleasure of hot chocolate on a cold day (check out that chocolate mustache!)


When is the last time you found beauty where you didn't expect it?
