Attributing beauty to nature requires that we ignore its less than beautiful side. Nature is inherently neutral, one can look out and see beauty in a herd of antelope, but stay around long enough and watch the hyenas slaughter a few. Or perhaps a pride of lionesses - ever notice that the king of the jungle lets others do the hunting.

Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder and in his/her mind's eye as well.
