Natural Beauty

Recently, I spent several weeks writing about present and future trends. After my trip to Italy I have rediscovered the beauty found all around us in nature. This is beauty without a past or present. It just is. It's not trendy, or cool, and sometimes we don't even see it. But if you need a lick of inspiration, it's a wonderful place to start.

You can find the most amazing colors and textures in nature. And the interplay between nature and human creation (buildings, gardens, streets, etc) is equally intriguing. So, I leave you with a few pictures that remind me to stop, smell, and look, at the roses.
