Being an avid bird watcher and having seen many colorful and exotic birds, one of the most beautiful I've seen is the common barnyard rooster and binoculars are not necessary to see one. Simple things we take for granted are beautiful if we will just examine them closer; an apple, an orange, a fallen leaf and even a sliced onion, that is, if you can look at one for long without crying. We've been given many blessings such as life itself, intelligence, freedom and senses. The greatest of our blessings is sight, with which we can appreciate all of the beauty and wonders that abound in this world!
