I noticed this sweet couple on my walk to work. They were arm and arm, out and about, enjoying a sunny San Francisco day. Adorable.

Wouldn't this be a great spot to sit and think? A quiet moment in the Presidio (a park in San Francisco). Photo by yours truly.
beautiful things i saw today: dog on bench
Oh-hello! Make yourself at home. This guy was so cute on a bench in St. Helena (Napa). Don't you love how a dog can brighten up your day?
beautiful things i saw today: matera
Here is a photograph I took in Matera, Italy. Notice the small people to get the perspective. We slept in a cave, and it was such an interesting place! More on Matera later. In the meantime, enjoy this gorgeous shot!
beautiful things i saw today: light and arches
Look how gorgeous the light was in this moment. It really made the arches sing. I love the soft colors.
I took in this beautiful moment on a recent trip to Puglia, Italy. This serene architecture is part of Borgo Egnazia, a lovely hotel on the Adriatic. Photo by yours truly; more on our wonderful trip later.

spring morning walk
Don't you love Spring? The longer days, warmer weather, colorful blooming flowers, birds chirping, summer just around the corner. Puts me in the best mood!
Some photos below of a recent morning walk. Notice Spring--it is all around!
beautiful things i saw today: dog in gym
This guy brightened my day. I love a chill but friendly dog greeting me as I walk in the gym. I love a gym that lets someone tie up their dog inside to greet people. He loved the attention, but never sat up. A sweet & gentle spirit!
beautiful things i saw today: rose + victorian + palm
On a walk, noticed these beautiful roses in front of a gorgeous white Victorian with a palm tree. Nice combo!
beautiful things i saw today: SF architecture
The photo above I took on a morning walk. I am lucky to live in a place with so many alluring things to notice when you look up from your phone.
Although not in the typical horseshoe shape of Moorish architecture, the arch still reminds me of that style. Arco lobulado is the description I learned while living in Spain, which literally means "lobed arch." There may be a different English description.
The grey & ivory colors are the same used in my living room. I don't know when this was built, but it is from another time. I am so thankful San Francisco enforces strict rules about preserving old buildings.
Notice beautiful things around you! It helps me stay present & maintain a positive outlook.

Beautiful sunrise on a morning walk. Pink cotton candy clouds.

beautiful things i saw today: icicles
icicles & snow in Lake Tahoe
When I walked out the door of the cabin in the morning, this image summoned me to pause with wonder. I love how the morning sunlight reflects off the icicles. Although it is cold, winter really is beautiful.
