A Whatsoever List

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

I always liked the inclusion of "lovely" in that list. I'm going to suggest several that probably had nothing to do with what Paul meant. I invite you to add yours, and we can keep this one going until we get up to 100.
1. The faces of very young children when they are very serious about something or trying to do something new.
2. Pipevine Swallowtails
3. Hydrangeas
4. The Star-Spangled Banner sung the way any particular American likes to sing it.
5.
