A flower is

a weed seen through joyful eyes

-Jonathan Lockwood Huie

This quote reminds me of the little kid who picks a "flower" (really just a weed) and brings it to you so proudly. Kids are really good at finding excitement and beauty in ordinary things.

When I was home over Christmas break my family took a walk. While looking for things to photograph, my dad and I noticed the weeds along the path and how pretty they actually were.


This year I hope to be more like the little kid with a joyful heart and joyful eyes who can see the beauty in ordinary things.
