These are some lilies in my garden.

Monarch on butterfly bush

When I saw this monarch land on this Butterfly Bush, it was the perfect opportunity to showcase what nature has to offer in the form of true beauty. Photo taken on 7-26-2010 @ 5:35 p.m.

My daughter and her love is truly beautiful. Growing up to love herself and others for minds and values, not there skin or things!!!

My daughter, her husband and newborn baby. My daughter, Jessica, was determined to have her baby before her husband, Matt, would ship out on the cruiser Ronald Reagan. She made it! January 1, 2005 Georgia Porter was born! Her husband, Matt shipped out the next day to the Gulf. It was wonderful and very sad at the same time.

Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Just one of the many beautiful sights in our world...we should take the time to stop and enjoy the magnificence around us. This is a spot in Bermuda, where I was lucky enough to have visited recently.

My best friend Rhiannon, of whom I know across the miles, is one of the most hard-working, dedicated and genuine people I've ever met. She's always there to listen, to lend advice, or share a kind word, while juggling a hectic schedule. She's very real, and that's one of the many things I love about her. She's an inspiration in my life. She's true beauty, inside and out.

Is that god-

By the way the clouds were gathering, and the sun ducking in and out of them, I sat and waited for God to paint the sky so I could take a photo of his work. This is true beauty to me.

Quotes
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Psychiatrist, Author  (1926-2004);
It is not beauty that endears, it’s love that makes us see beauty.
Leo Tolstoy Russian Author  (1828-1910);
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.
Roald Dahl British Novelist  (1916-1990);
It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
Maya Angelou Poet, Dancer, Producer, Playwright, Director, Author  (born 1928);
Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
Khalil Gibran Artist, Poet, Writer   (1883-1931);

I was always told growing up beauty is as beauty does, so I firmly stand by that...beauty comes from within..if you have a pretty face but not a pretty attitude and not a pretty personality in my eyes youu are not that pretty . It makes me sad to know that some people are like this their whole lives . Struggle to have what everyone else has..just be yourself and u will be standing out from the crowd!!

True beauty to me means: embracing your differences and loving the uniqueness that these differences bring to who you are!

Beauty is in humans! It's in puppies, it's in energies, it's in compassion, it's in our drive and determination to make the world a better place by using our hearts, minds, spirits, and souls. Beauty is in love! When you love something, you have this glow about you, a glow that outshines makeup,cosmetics,clothes or material possessions of any sort. Beauty is intangible, its the energy that somebody created with their own spirits, something that is beautiful and original of their own. Beauty is infinite, and can always be created!! Always, ALWAYS keep that in mind

Beauty in our face will fade away by time. But, Beauty in our hearts will never. True beauty in in us, not on us.

Carolejane B about 1 year ago from West Hartford, CT
There is beauty in a sunrise and sunset, a flower, landscape, mountains, the sea and in all of creation. The most beautiful thing is love. Living a life of love makes all things beautiful. Share love with a smile and encouragement.

Adriana G. about 1 year ago from Georgia
Everyone is beautiful. Ugly is an attitude. Beauty cannot be bought because that would be superficially seen on the outside. Beauty is the essence of the inner spirit's light shining through. Beauty is not make-up or lipstick.

Cynthia Ross about 1 year ago from San Angelo, Texas
Beauty can be bought in this day of plastic surgery, cosmetics and figure-flattering clothing, but eventually, people will see how lovely you really are when they judge you by your ACTIONS.

We all can put on makeup and say we have outer beauty, but only some people believe in inner beauty.

Everybody is beautiful. We all have beauty. Beauty has nothing to do with whats on the outside, IT'S WHAT'S ON THE INSIDE THAT REALLY TRULY COUNTS!
