1,000 Beautiful Things

It's a beautiful thing what's going on over at Brad Wise's blog!

Beautiful, fun and addictive as heck! I can't stop thinking of things to add!

When the final tally has been reached, I intend on copying all of my contributions and posting them here. In the meantime...what do you consider beautiful? Add them to the list! Or start your own.

Thanks Brad for initiating!

P.s. If you aren't good at math/counting, then you prolly shouldn't attempt. Just saying.
