"Beauty in things exists merely in the mind which contemplates
them."~David Hume's Essays, Moral and Political, 1742
Physical: To see a child laughing. The sparkle of happiness in a person's eye. Two people holding hands, no matter what the ages are; a child and parent, an elderly couple; a couple contemplating their life together....
Artistic: Resilient Wanderer, Clyde Caldwell; Passion, Sir Frank Dicksee; The Sailing Signal, Arthur Hughes; On the Terrace at Rolleboise, Daniel Ridgway Knight; Arthur Steps Up, Don Maitz; High Cross of Clonmacnois, Mary McSweeney; Greeting the Dawn, Keith Parkinson; On the Terrace, Sir Edward Poynter; The Cherry Bonnet, Emile Vernon; Passage: The Avatar, Michael Whelan; Lunar Celebration, Wyland; are but a few of the many.
Natural: Watching the waves lap upon the white sand shore. To stand beside a redwood and see a deer peering from behind another. Gazing down at the Grand Canyon, either from edge or from a plane. Rolling black clouds of an impending storm. A sunset from the boat.

Some great snapshots to describe beauty.
I would like to say a big YES to : two people holding hands.
How beautiful are those old couples, still in love holding hands, sharing so much years together
What lovely photos, they are definitely beautiful to me too.
I'm hoping to hike in the Grand Canyon next June. Hopefully I will see those beautiful sights!
Those are all fantastically beautiful things! Thanks so much for sharing :)
