Things That Always Look Beautiful To Me:

My wife, all the time, but especially in jeans and a sweatshirt.
The white beaches of Alabama and North Florida--even if littered by hotels.
The 12,000-foot mountain peaks in Colorado.
The canals & architecture of Amsterdam.
Manhattan, at night, on an inbound airplane (it isn't as good outbound).
My students, on graduation day, huddling up for pictures.
The U.S. border entry station--coming from anywhere else.
My dog asleep on the couch.
Any Van Gogh when you're standing three feet from it.
The Dallas skyline from the south (meaning Reunion Tower will be on your left).
Auburn's football stadium seconds before opening kick-off, Toomer's Corner, and the landmark Samford Hall at night.
My daughters, laughing together.
The front door of my home after a long day at work.
A fire in the fireplace (real wood only).
The night sky visible in Chambellan, Haiti.
The dark-to-light moment your favorite band hits the stage.
Dana Point, California.
Half-Moon Bay, California.
The view of the Golden Gate from Jilly & Shane's plane.
The library shelf of the books you didn't take to Half-Price Books.

What's beautiful to you?
