The beauty of the little things

Youth is happy

because it has the capacity

to see beauty.

And one who keeps the ability

to see beauty

never grows old.

 

- Franz Kafka

 

I remember so well that sunny day at a Portuguese beach when my husband found the first of these two beautiful snail homes and gave it to me as a present. I wanted him to have one, too and started strolling up and down the water front - looking for another one that hadn't been broken by the waves. Can you imagine my heartbeat when I really spotted a second one, a little smaller than mine?! :) I will always remember that day by the sea when I look at these little treasures.

 

A wonderful theme this week. Have a beauty - full day, dear Flickr friends. HMM
