My friend Lori linked me up to this great blog
The first week's challenge was to photograph "ugly" things that can be beautiful. I think I'm pretty good at seeing the beauty around me (and taking pictures) so this challenge intrigued me.
Here's what I came up with in about 5 minutes, just inside my yard (I'd love to dedicate much more time to this!)
This is our over-grown landscaping around our house? Aren't we awesome gardeners? Anyway, these are just weeds growing in the rocks...a bad, ugly thing. But they certainly do have their own beauty.....
I hate power lines. Their ugly. Now, when I sit on my deck and watch the birdies live their life on the high-wire, they become a lot less ugly and a lot more interesting. And when the photo of it turns out like this....it looks a lot more artsy, don't ya think?
And this is my neighbor's barn. Yes, we live in town. Our house is probably right on the old farmland. It's not a new barn. It's certainly nothing fancy. It's rough and weathered. Just how I like it! Makes me feel like I'm in the country, when I'm really in town. Beautiful!
I challenge you to try to see more beauty in the everyday of life...even in the "ugly". Afterall, it's all part of God's creation....

great job on the challenge...I had big ideas...and they didn't surface at all. But maybe I'll still get it done. :) I want to...
