Natural Landscape

In the natural world, my definition of beauty is being able to experience everything in it's natural surrounding. When a bird doesn't see you, but you see it, and it goes about it's business and you get to see it in it's natural environment. When you hear the birds chirping and fresh water running- and are surrounded by the smell of fresh leaves. When the sun just barely peaks through the trees and shines right on you, this to me is beauty. The photo below exemplifies this for me. It reminds me of the creek behind my house, where I feel at peace every time I go to it. It is exactly what I described above, fairly untouched and unexplored by the unnatural world. Everytime I go, I am brought to a place of indescribable peace and contentment, as I look up and see only green.
