But find it you can, from time to time, in small pockets. Here were a couple of those pockets we discovered last week on a autumnal walk.
Isn't the light here particularly stunning? It makes the rose so luminous and makes the fountain behind it look like glass. And the curly green moss on the side so differently textured from the sheet of falling water.
Thank the Lord for the maple trees by the town gazebo. The late afternoon sun glinting through the leaves just about melted my heart.As did the sweet girl's heartfelt address to the treetops, when she lifted up her head and gave this impromptu oration: "Dear Leaves, please don't worry about dying. You will become dirt, and more things will grow from you."

Those photographs are absolutely gorgeous! I've awakened to an especially drab day here, so they really brought a smile to my face. :) I'm especially taken with the first one; I can somehow imagine that rose blooming on the grounds of the renewed castle in Beauty and the Beast, while the fountain feels like a natural waterfall...
Great photos, Beth. And proof once again the beauty is everywhere, if you just have eyes to see.
Erin, I like the idea of a bit of enchantment in our little town. :) The fountain is one they put into the town park a couple of years ago, and it has definitely added a bit of loveliness to our days!
Tara, thanks. I love being on the lookout for beauty!
I actually have blog tags for "bits of beauty" and also "snippets of sense." It's so lovely when we stumble across either one. :)
