I took the scenic route home from Altus today by way of Oklahoma Highway 19. I stopped numerous times to take some great shots. One of my favorites is this beautiful horse pinned up outside its red and yellow barn surrounded by yellow wildflowers. I’ve done little to enhance it. The wildflowers are actually a weed of some kind with irritating thorns. What is so wondrous to me is that there is great beauty among the thorns, rust, and peeling paint in this scene. It reminds me that despite the thorns and worn surfaces of our lives, there is always beauty to be found if we look closely enough.
