It has been 4 years this month since I moved to Denver and I sometimes take for granted what I was initially so delighted by.  Upon arriving here I would choose a different  street about every 2 weeks and mine it for treasure … here an Italian bakery; there a meat market , a place to drop off clothes for a non profit organization helping women rebuild their lives; oh, an electrical repair place; a library; a neighborhood nursery and garden center and so on. Once we become familiar with a place (or person), it is so easy to not see the uniqueness that delighted us in the first place.

Today’s image of the downtown Denver skyline was taken  five minutes away from my home in northwest Denver. I’ve been in the building next to where I took the shot and had driven by , but hadn’t seen the walking path where I set up my tripod to take this image.  Had I not signed up with the Front Range Photography “Meetup” group to “do a downtown night shoot”, I wouldn’t have  discovered this treasure.

In the midst of your routines this week, where could you intentionally “seek and find” something you might be taking for granted? Come on now, how about a treasure hunt?
