We can travel hundreds and thousands of miles in search of beauty. Pining after those golden sanded beaches, the snowiest mountains and the clearest water. In search of jungles, rain forests, deserts and glaciers. Finding the most beautiful looking buildings, the best kept secrets of a town or that famous landmark.
Sometimes we forget, that beauty is all around us and sometimes, we just have to look a bit closer. My camera always helps me see the beautiful things that surround us each and everyday.
I took all of these photos in the last six months
The details of flowersShiny horses found while biking around Peñaflor one Friday
Creatures that can often be missed
The unnoticed patterns of leaves
Looking up to beautiful flowers against a blue sky
Unexpected, colourful street art brightening up a facade
Autumn berries just starting to ripen
The beauty of clouds as they look different each and every day
Patterns in the sand
A drop of water on newly yellow leaves
The shadows of flowers outside a house
The shapes and lines on an artichoke
The beautiful colours of a vegan restaurant
The shapes and colours of the juiciest pomegranate
The colours and shapes only seen when you look up
Palm tree reflections on peaceful water
A spirally napkin
Where do you find beauty everyday?
Have a lovely, lovely weekend!!

Exceptionally beautiful Marcella,
Every picture has a story to tell. Nice observation and seeing these really makes me smile in this hot summer (:
Thanks so much for your sweet comment! 🙂 Always happy to send some smiles across the miles!
(:
I love flowers and taking pictures of them. I also look at the beauty of old houses. Athens has an abundance of them!
Ditto, I could photograph flowers allll day long, they are just the prettiest. As for old houses and nice doors, I feel the same. i can imagine that Athens is a treat for any photographer!
I just love, love, love the hoto of the palm tree reflections on calm water ♥
so true, Marcella, sometimes you don’t have to travel for days to find sometthing fascinating, sometimes beauty lies just outside the front door and it is up to us to see it 🙂
Thanks so much, it’s the little details that often can make the prettiest photos 🙂
Love your words, I totally agree!
I love this so much! First because it’s so true, there is so beauty in the every day and in the details of life, and two because your photos are absolutely gorgeous!x
Thanks so much! 🙂 It was a fun post to put together as it’s good to look a little closer 🙂
Awwww I love posts like this Marcella! Since I’ve been in Kuala Lumpur, I’ve barely even taken any pictures, and haven’t even turned on my real camera. I don’t consider KL to be a pretty “photo-worthy” city, but your posts like this inspires me to look hard to find beauty in everyday things about me. Maybe I will start to bring my camera around and make my own post like this! x
Aww, glad to provide a bit of inspiration. I’d love to see a post from you like this! 🙂 I think there is always beauty in everyplace, sometimes it’s just more hidden than other times! 😉
This is a fantastic post and a great reminder to keep an eye out for the “little” things in life that make it so beautiful!
Thanks so much. It’s good to be reminded of that every now and then as beauty can often escape us 🙂
