Betsy P. Kahn finds beauty everywhere in Westport. She sees it in places all of us love.

Yesterday, the talented photographer took this fantastic shot of a cottage on Sherwood Mill Pond, near the bridge heading to Compo Cove.
For years it’s enchanted everyone who knows that secret path. But it won’t be there much longer. Damaged in Hurricane Sandy, it and an even smaller cottage next door will soon be demolished.
The train station isn’t going anywhere. No one thinks it’s particularly attractive, but Betsy makes it look stunning too.

As the holidays approach, it’s easy to get stressed.
Amid all the craziness, take a deep breath.
Find a spot like the one above.
Appreciate all the beauty and joy that surrounds us, every day.
Then — refreshed — head back into the fray.
The scene in one of those neighborhoods where the houses are close together, parents drive their little princesses and Power Rangers in from all over town (and beyond), and the very accommodating homeowners provide not only candy, but (at least here) adult beverages:
