Beauty Is Everywhere

I have always admired photojournalists though it was never a profession suitable for me.  I'm a homebody.  Two weeks "on the road" is almost unbearable for me.  Also, I've always had children, human or the furry kind, calling me back home. 

These are some of my favorite recent images by Associated Press photographers. Even while being frequent witness to tragedy, they stay aware of beauty.  These images are of the China drought and the Beijing dust storm.
