Of what we see.
What we perceive,
depends on where we look.
Beauty is everywhere,
just waiting to be found,
even on the cloudiest days.
Cheers to you from Olympic National Park~

Hi Cindy, Looks like my home Olympic National Park Ruby Beach. I love this place so very much. Excellent post!

Yep. The park is so big, and there much always left to explore, no matter how often you visit, but you can’t leave, at least I can’t, without saying adieu to Ruby.

Where we look and what we look with (mood, emotional filter) all plays into it doesn’t it? I’m looking at these with gratitude for being able to see them.

There are so many filters that affect our focus, cognitive ones too. Our brains our powerful, our perception limited. You, my dear, can see.
