Beauty in Sparsity

As David Hume said: “Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them.”

In find a certain beauty in sparsity.  From this vantage point, the pair of wind-propelled tumbleweeds I witnessed crossing a long expanse of blonde grass was beautiful.  So, too, the flock of white seagulls tumbling along behind a red tractor tilling a field—the gulls constantly rotating in overtop one another to feast on grubs and whatnots freshly exposed in the overturned earth.
