Beauty in the Eyes of the Beholder

Driving parallel to I-80 along a bumpy gravel road, this caught my attention. What odd beauty - an intertwined mixture of barb wire, stumps, and prairie grass.

The camera allows a person to look beyond facts, definitions, and what is real. Yes, in reality, this is an old stump, rusty wires, mixed with last year's growth of grass. The wires are even creating boundaries.

Yet, isn't it grand to slow down and take a different look, perhaps experiencing a beauty that comes shining forth from behind the camera's eye?

One thing is for sure, had I not become committed to doing a 365 upload of a picture a day on flickr, I would most likely have missed this beautiful sight!
