A friend has a photo on his blog of a tyrannosaurus rex, and I remain intrigued by how it relates to his life or point of view. I think I'm a bit less cryptic than he is, or perhaps just more wordy. The photo above is of a century plant blossom. It was taken near where I live. Here is another photo I like, of Rattlesnake Canyon near the famous Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Both photos are related to this blog because in each life there is beauty, if we are not blinded by our expectations. I drove down the scenic drive that passes Rattlesnake Canyon recently with someone who could only see what it was not - thus she missed the beauty of what it was.
