Like this young man playing the bagpipes on a ferry to Vancouver Island:
Or this giant toadstool nestled in the grass:
Or this koi pond at a quirky indoor/outdoor market in Sedona, Arizona:
Or opening the refrigerator to discover that my son accidentally put the ice cream there instead of the freezer:
Because I'm a visual person, I like it when the unexpected catches my eye. But there are other things, too: a delicious bottle of bargain wine, a text from a friend I haven't heard from in a while, finding $20 in the pocket of my jeans, getting all the green lights on a trip across town.
Wishing you a bit of unexpected joy today!
My second choice for U is Utah, because I've seen some of the most amazing natural beauty there. This is a picture of Delicate Arch, which even looks like an upside-down letter U. Thanks, Utah!
I love unexpected things too. My most recent is that something in my pot of flowers has seeded and I have lots of little seedlings sprouting...I have no idea which flower they are.
ReplyDeleteOh, mystery sprouts! That's fun! I once had a random head of lettuce grow in my yard. I didn't have a garden at the time and have no idea where the seed came from.
DeleteThese are great unexpected surprises! Yesterday, as we walked back from the park, a man was sitting on his porch steps playing the accordion. It was such a lovely, unexpected surprise.
ReplyDeleteHow nice of him to treat you :-)
