Beauty

When you're in prison, or, I imagine, other isolated or ugly environments, you tend to appreciate beauty much more than you might otherwise. You see amazing details in flowers, or awe at the sighting of a soaring Bald Eagle, or appreciate the rare sight of a smile on a woman's face.

Today (6/23/12) at yard, I saw a huge, upside-down rainbow. It's sunny with some cumulous clouds, and not a bit of rain in sight, but there must have been enough humidity in the air to generate that awesome rainbow. It lasted the entire hour of yard time and it was so cool for me and the guy I was walking with to stop and marvel at God's handiwork.

What have you seen lately that made you stop in awe of its beauty?
