365 Beautiful Things: Photo Journal of 2026



Beauty surrounds us. It deserves more attention than the irksome and negative that greedily steal our energy. After all, our lives are nothing but collections of seconds, minutes, hours, moments, so why not bring the beautiful to the forefront?

I'd like to capture 2026 in one beautiful thing a day. These may be as bold and obvious as a vibrant sunset or snow capped mountain, as personal as wondering what another person is thinking, or as subtle as an interesting pattern of bark on a tree.  

Let's see what is in the eye of the beholder this year.
