Thursday means it’s time to reflect back on three beautiful things from my past week:

1. After having listened to the Hamilton soundtrack since before it was officially released, it was awesome to finally get to see the visuals that accompany the audio.

2. I bought a couple new bathing suits on sale online (actually, I bought more than a couple, but am only keeping two) and wore one to the pool this week to try it out in action. Rudi says it looks good and it neither pulled down nor rode up while jumping into the pool, swimming, and getting out, so I’d call that a success.

3. We got not one, but two, fireworks displays this week — one after the ballgame on Tuesday and one on the 4th over the Mall. This year’s new shaped fireworks included ones that looked like jellyfish. I didn’t manage to capture them on film, but maybe you saw them if they showed the entire display on PBS?

How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world lately?
