Twice a year I take my vehicle to Mark Miller Toyota for routine maintenance. Waiting for the service brings the opportunity to look for beautiful things around the corner along 200 West in Salt Lake City. Here is what I found on a recent visit:

Sometimes to find beauty, we have to look up or down.

These pictures of plants are refreshing to view. Nice work!
I treasure your compliment because your discoveries of beauty and then painting them are amazing.
I really like the ground clover.
Thank you for liking the photo. It takes a few minutes to bond with the muted colors – even the reds are muted. I am gratified when I find beauty in humble places and really gratified when somebody else sees it, also. Best, Michael
