Responding to beauty.

Had an e mail from a friend today , and she described her journey home from Comox along the Dyke Road yesterday afternoon. The time was around 4.45pm , and the sky above the Comox Glacier was ablaze with a beautiful red hue. She said it was quite breathtaking , and that a number of drivers had actually stopped to admire the view and to take photographs. My friend "also took a moment to be thankful for the beauty of the Comox Valley. "

Equally wonderful is our capacity to admire beauty and to take a break once in a while to respond to it and acknowledge it.
