All Things Beautiful

Things you are likely to find on this blog: fabulous art, charming home interiors, ridiculously good-looking people, pretty landscapes, inspiring architecture, photogenic food, exceptional electronics, and everything else—as the title states—that may be construed as Beautiful. From the shallow to the sublime, from the absurd to the commonplace, beauty need not be rational or forgiving.
