Also I guess it could be seen as a Thoughtful Daily post hosted by @wesphilbin,
Maybe I have a positive outlook on life and maybe what I feel or are about to say is unrealistic or doesn't makes sense to some, and that's fine, that's what makes the world interesting everyone has different perspectives.
and with that thought I wonder off subject for a bit now so bare with me,

You know the world would be a better place is more people could accept others have different opinions of things and simply agree to disagree, but it seems to me these days when it comes to politics and vaccinations, far to many people instead are taking the its my way or the highway kind of attitude.
I have my ow opinions on both subjects and its not an area I get into discussions with people about as with many it could become heated, so I let it go, nod my head if people want to go on about it but will only discus sit with people that its clear to me there open to discuss and share thoughts not to try and force their opinion on others.

OK enough on that subject which is neither sublime of beautiful, perhaps it is a daily thought but not the one I was thinking about when I started writing this, so let me get back on track

I like to thing if we open our eyes and look around we can find beauty in everything, dang I once did a post about rubbish tins in NYC and tried to pitch even trash can be seen as beautiful looked at in the right way and with the right perspective, and I think if you try to go through life looking for the good and beauty all around you, you will find yourself a lot happier and content.

But do not worry I am not going to do a post about trash or rubbish bins, boats are the subject of this post.
I start with this fishing boat above, clearly been in service for a long time, all rusty and worn, but when I saw it in the early morning light with the colors of sunrise behind it all I saw was beauty and a photo to take.

and a poem by Derrick Foster I read recently came to mind that fits my thought sin this post

I have seen beauty
In the eyes of my friend
In the smile of a child
In wisdom of the aged

I have seen beauty
On a ride across a river
On a bus going down town
On a plane heading home

I have seen beauty
While walking in rain
While strolling in sun
While laying in grass

I have seen beauty
In the look of a stranger
In the arms of a lover
In the heart of family*

I have seen beauty
At the back of a train
At a café on the corner
At a gas station at the end of the road

I have seen beauty
While flying across sky
While running in the park
While sitting in a garden
There is beauty all around
Just waiting to be found
In the air and on the ground
Also in wide open places

I have seen beauty
In private reverie
In contemplating life
In sitting idly on a couch***

I have seen beauty
While staring into space
While floating on water
While riding on a bus***

I have seen beauty
Looking in a mirror
Gazing out to sea
Leaning against a wall

I have seen a variety of beauty
In my minds eye
In my hearts murmur
In my own hands

I have felt beauty
Form another's point of view
From those who speak true
From living in the world

I have heard beauty
In the gurgle of a new born
In the rebellion of a teen
In the sigh of an adult
To hear such beauty
Is quite a relief?
And on days I can't take it
I welcome the call
Of beauty in us all

I have touched beauty
By befriending others
By listening to their plea
By helping them to see

There is beauty
In places we don't look
In the pages of a book
On the faces of foreigners

I have seen beauty
At the end of the street
From a man on a bike
To the woman on a hike
I have witnessed beauty
While standing in the cut
Under the radar
Looking from afar
There is beauty
In the ether
In the air
Where beauty can be found Everywhere

the rest of the post will be photos of another boat which is the Buckley Mcallister

It is a tug boat built in 2014 and is 29.26M long x 10.36 m wide

Whenever I see tug boats I am kind of amazed by them they are not that big, but they are so powerful and can tow large boats and barges, and when I saw this one docked at sunrise recently as I took the photos I thought of them for a Sublime and beautiful post

A mono shot showing some of the equipment atop of the boat, being a former Telecom tech I always notice antennas radar domes etc etc
