 What is the expression ...Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  
Aesthetics  to complex for me but I know campbell soup cans  don't make 
it and rain drops on a leaf does.

  Rain and wind last nit
Plants wondering why so cold
Fireplace makes pleasant sound
 Yet taking out the trash required clothing
Task is done
But never so much color when I did it.
