Margarete Steinhauer - Talented Best Things in Beauty Reader

Beauty comes in all aspects of life, and Margarete Steinhauer, a faithful Best Things in Beauty reader (and giveaway contest winner), chronicles the beauty that surrounds and inspires her in her stunning photographs! You really should check out her blog, Views... Near and Far. A visit will leave you with a sense of serenity and renew your appreciation for the beauty of the natural world that surrounds us.

A photographer, quilter, and Armani Beauty fan (yep, she has even visited with Loyd Cassler), Margarete will soon be moving from the coast of Massachusetts to Colorado. Meanwhile, as she prepares to move, she continues to share her gorgeous photographs of the world that surrounds her. While the scenery will change, her photographs will continue to delight.

Don't the leaf scars to the right look like eyes? Margarete found the leaf scars on an exotic palm tree growing in the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center in Providence, Rhode Island.

I've bookmarked Views... Near and Far. How about you?
