If you're in a funk and or going through a serious cause of the blahs, these pictures might brighten your day.

The temperature is like a roller coaster and the clouds can really cast a shadow over your mental state. Luckily there seven individuals snapped a photo of Rockford's beauty. Some look like artwork worthy of hanging in your home.

After seeing all these beautiful images there will be a challenge for you.

THIS AMERICAN FLAG WITH ROCKFORD IN THE BACKGROUND

I like this particularly more than the six others for two reasons.

1. Our beautiful American Flag is waving high in the sky.
2. All the trees surrounding the Forest City - it's one of my favorite things about living in Rockford.

Despite what negative news you might hear or read or see, despite the circumstances surrounding your day, take a peek out outside or look through the closest without and try to find something beautiful in or around Rockford. Snap a pic and share it on Instagram using the hashtag #rkfdbeauty
