5 Beautiful Things

[image error]

This new feature is designed to inspire you to look at the world around you, to take note of the season at hand and to capture it – in memory or on film – for posterity. I will be choosing five photos each week for Beekman1802.com with this aim in mind. We’re calling the feature, The Five Most Beautiful Things In The World This Week

 

The Funnies

To those who meet me for the first time, I can come off pretty serious. Reservation and resolve are traits I’ve had since childhood and they’ve served me pretty well in life, even if they may have left some wondering whether I have a funny bone. Those who truly know me, however, know that I love being silly, letting down my proverbial hair (I have no actual hair these days, thank you very much) and being weird for the sheer fun of it.  My sense of humour tends to run through darker territory. (I’ll take Edward Gorey over Charlie Brown any day.) And the more absurd the situation, the more I laugh. Since I’ve had more seriousness this summer than I care to reflect upon, I thought it would be fun to share some giggles this week. Below are five peculiar images that never fail to make me chuckle. They are not necessarily beautiful, but smiles always are.
