I like old books, they've got that special smell and are beautifully bound. And it's feels good holding such a book, they're really beautiful.

These days I love sitting in train, listening to Evanescence and watching the country when it's snowing. It's amazing, everything's white, trees look like ghosts, beautiful.

I agree Wildeanne, the world is beautiful covered in white.

One thing I find beautiful is a geniune smile from the ones you love.

Wow many things..

I like around afternoon with a nice weather sitting in my backyard and look up at the sky with the wind blowing gently through my hairs.

I really think it's beautiful just looking at the sky... It feels nostalgic.. somehow

What I find beautiful is an A+ mark on a crisp, clean, perfect essay for AP English...what can I say?

I love walking barefood in the sand
I love putting my hand into a bag of rice,
I love dancing samba
I love waking up in the morning of a free day, knowing I still have some hours to sleep
I love writing the last word of a 4-hour-test
I love the moment the lights go out in the cinema
I love the moment a plane takes off
I love kisses on the neck
I love sleeping side by side with somebody you love
I love waking up next to somebody you love

~ Rain. Watching it from inside, feeling it outside, hearing it inside and outside, I love the rain.
~ Moonlight is especially beautifull on a really clear night.
~ Fire. Ok, so I don't light everything within my reach on fire, but I love watching wood burn at a campfire. The smell sets the mood perfectly.
~ The smell of my copy of Lord of the Rings. Harry Potter is a great series, but LotR will always be my #1 favorite. Whenever I open that book, I'm always reminded of the first time I ever read it. Ah... what a wonderful time that was, when I was turned to page one and read that first line, not knowing then how much impact it would have on my life.
~ The feel of wind rushing past my face on my favorite roller coaster, The Hulk, at Islands of Adventures. There's really nothing like being shot out of a cannon-like thingy, going from 0 to 60-something in a few seconds... leaves me breathless every time.

The smell of old books...
Looking at the sky
listening to water running in mountain streams (got plenty of those were I live)
Walking in sand barefooted, looking at fires
Snow (anything related to it, exept maybe the cold)
Birdsong in the mornings (but not to early)
Looking up at the stars

Theres lot of thing that are beautiful in there own way.
