The question is where do we find beauty? Do we really appreciate seeing things that are beautiful? Every day the environment presents us with beautiful things to enjoy.
In Santa Clarita we can enjoy the sunsets, sunrises and the breathtaking full moon.Â
We look at our babies and little pets with wonder of their beauty. How many times a day do you say, “That is beautiful,” for something we see. Little children seem to know when something is beautiful and they tell you when they think something is beautiful. I wonder how does a child know something is beautiful and how do we know or feel something is beautiful? Watching the waves in the ocean and clouds hide streaks of orange and pink as we glance up at the sky.
Each day we are anxious to get home and see our house and its beauty. We drive down streets like McBean and marvel at the trees all lined up in rows with big branches and leaves flowing in and out. Yes we love to look at the beauty in our city and understand why it is called an “awesome” place to live. Restaurants serve meals that are beautiful to look at as the food is served to us. Santa Clarita is a beautiful place to live and enjoy all of what it has to offer to us every day.
When people come to SCV to explore what it would be like to live here they find beauty in all of the different sections of the city. Each area of the SCV has some special qualities to offer when people want to choose where they will buy their home. Opportunities for entertainment are abundant with malls and shopping areas to explore, theaters, and many hotels to stay in while visiting this city. Sometimes there are special events held in the streets of music, and farmer’s markets with home grown vegetables and baked goods. All so beautiful in color and shapes! Yes, Santa Clarita is an awesome city to live and enjoy many different kinds of beauty.
