Birds?

So, I have obviously spent a lot of time on the bus in the past while, as school has just recently started up, and well, busses are a part of the school life. Of course, the bus provides budding children with time to finish their late homework which they spilled coffee on the night prior, it gives them time to catch up with friends and complain about how much they hate this person or the next. Some may even take the time to cuddle up with a significant someone. I feel that all of these particular uses are quite a waste.

I am after all a teenager, so I do spend a good amount of time talking, that is for sure. However, I always take some time to admire the world around. Fall is a beautiful time in our world, even if it is 15 degrees colder than it should be. The sky is grey and it has been raining for a week, but through this beauty still remains.

My eyes have been taking vigorous glances at the nature around me, and while watching these natural things happen, it makes my mind and heart leap for joy. Very first thing in the morning, as I stand there waiting for the bus, things are quiet for a city, with the exception of the occasional car whizzing past and a city bus here and there, things are fairly quiet, and I don't pace, I don't think about Ms. Applebottom's homework assignment, nope. My eyes scour for worms. Yes, worms. The rain has caused many worms to surface and spend time on the sidewalks and in the small pools of water, and I cannot help but feel happy as I watch the little guys move, oh so slowly and nicely, they are careless.

Last week, when the sky became gray for the first time, I was pretty bummed out, but as I stared out the window wishing that instead of rain, it was sun, and instead of grey it was blue. But I looked into the sky and seen one of the most profound things that I can recall seeing. The birds, their pattern of flight was so amazing to me, I cannot truly explain how happy seeing the birds fly made me feel. I wished I could have had it on film or take some pictures with a nice camera, but I did not have either of the things, so as the bus drove underneath the interesting flow of birds I simply watched them move. To try and explain it, it was like the EAC (East Australian Current) from Finding Nemo, they all moved so unbelievably harmoniously and they swerved and curved in an incredible pattern.

Nature has always shown us beautiful things and many articles and stories are written around the feelings that people have felt in and around nature, while observing it or while being it, and in this very gray and gloomy time when everybody feels tired and gross, I believe that there is beauty in it. So what is the beauty in the gray rainy grossness? This is what I hope to find and capture.

I plan to buy a nice little quick-shot camera and take some time from every day that I can to take a picture of something that I find profoundly beautiful from something that people may only see in a negative way. I have found the sidewalk worms beautiful, so I can imagine that I may take a picture of that os something of the sort. Hopefully I get paid enough to buy it now...

So what is something you know people find negative, and what is something beautiful you can pull from that. I don't mean like parents yelling at their kid and you see that they are teaching a lesson, no, that is silver lining.. I mean truly beautiful, something that on sight makes you feel unconditionally happy. What can you find?
