Stumble It!I sometimes am just amazed at the beauty created by things we would not normally think could do so…plain ol’ mud is one of those things. However, in my hiking in Death Valley, it was easy to find again and again, beauty created by ordinarily ugly things. There are a few things that constantly amaze me in this regard, tree bark, lichen on rocks, patterns in sand caused by wind and tide, and leaves on the forest floor to name a few. What are your favorites?

Kai, this could be a picture of anything; turtle shell, scales, skin. Reminds me that like patterns can be found all along the spectrum, from microscopic to satelite.

True..true…which makes it all the more “extra”ordinary in my opinion!

I have lived in high desert for about a year now and I must say that looking out over the mesa in the distance is just amazing. Especially coming from smogville/marine layer central.

again, so true…so true. Amazing how clear it can be.
