Happy Late World Photography Day

I just found out (a week too late!) that there is a World Photography Day, and it’s August 19 every year. People are encouraged to post a picture to share their world with the world.

Since I’m already too late to officially participate (and I’m really bummed about it!), I thought I’d just share a bunch of my favorite photographs with my favorite readers of Doing Life Together.

Peaceful pond with pagoda, Japanese Friendship Garden, Phoenix AZ

Eucalyptyus tree, Boyce Thompson Arboretum, Superior AZ

Babbling brook, Japanese Friendship Garden, Phoenix AZ

Beautiful butterfly, St. Anthony’s Greek Orthodox Monastery, Florence AZ

These photos represent moments when I was out and about seeking beauty, and found it. Beauty and joy present themselves when we open our eyes to see. It’s like discovering a love letter from God.

Have a beautiful, joyful, blessed day.
