Day 8: New journies in the same ol' town

Photo of the day:
You would be surprised how much more you discover when you ride on a bicycle. I found so much more beauty in my little town that I would have normally not even noticed. For example, I discovered these beautiful flowers above. To truly appreciate them, it is best to enlarge the picture. They were placed carefully in front of some sort of office. I was not sure the exact type because I did not care to really notice. Mostly I was distracted by their beauty. I also noticed how pretty some of the old buildings are. I am always fascinated by how gorgeous old buildings can be. I will tell anyone that my church is one of the most beautiful in metro Detroit. While, I am biased, a lot of visitors comment on its antique beauty. Have you ever driven through Detroit and truly appreciated the older buildings? A lot of them are dumps now but if you really look, you can see beautiful they had been at one point.
They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love finding beauty in things that people would normally just pass by. While these flowers have natural beauty to them, many people just walk or drive by them without giving them a second look.
God has given so much beauty in the world and we take it for granted. Forest? Not needed, let's tear it down and build homes. Who cares if the animals have a place to live or not? Solution; just put them in a zoo for people to admire. While that is a semi-decent solution, you are taking away their freedom. Don't get me wrong, I love going to the zoo as much as anyone but in the same sense, seeing those animals in captivity is a little sad.
I once heard someone complaining that their floor was always leaking. The house was built on a swamp land. Last time I checked, swamp lands are not made for houses to be built on. You cannot go against mother nature and just build wherever you please. If you are going to build on swamp land, which was not made to be built on, then you have to suffer the consequences. Well that is all for now. Good night everyone!!
