Oh So Pretty

May 26, 2011 by Elaine

I think the concept of “pretty” is something that is overrated. And blown up in our minds. Do you know what I mean?  We have this idea of “pretty” in our head as humans, for humans, and it just isn’t cut and dry.

I see pretty things EVERY day in my life.  They are everywhere.  These just happen to be a few that I recognized this week.

I consider myself blessed to have SO much “pretty” in my life.

    You are surrounded by pretty! I see it all around me as well, in the smallest things, like wildflowers and the rainbow made by the crystal hanging in my kitchen window.

    I agree. I definitely think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think that’s why some people love the desert and some love the forest.

    “Pretty” does have a pretty broad application, doesn’t it? I love the picture of your earrings! Those are seriously pretty 🙂
