7/52: Pretty Ugly

I’m a little behind … week seven was actually last week.  Oh well!  Sometimes photo challenges make me anxious (which is why I hardly ever follow through with them until the end) … this time I’ve decided to just take it at my own pace.  If I miss a week (or am late), so be it.

I really liked this theme.  There are a lot of “pretty ugly” things in my world right now.  A dead leaf laying on dead grass would typically be considered ugly.  However, you add in some frost and the right amount of morning sunlight and it is transformed into beauty.  I’ve said it before and I’ll [probably] say it again:  photography has transformed the way I see the world.  Everywhere I look, I see beauty in the ordinary.  I will always be grateful for that!
