To answer the question, I do try to pick up on small details around me as I walk by, or work in the area. I often miss the really pertinent details, but I also tend to see things others miss. But I agree with the point you're trying to make here: people do not notice beauty in everyday situations. For example, I may run my hand along a textured wall (ie aluminum siding or whatever) and pay super close attention to the feel of it against my hand and the rhythmic sound it makes without ever noticing that the damn thing's dirty. I agree with Grancey, it's really fun to stop and listen to street musicians, but I get bored if they obviously have no talent. I really get a kick out of seeing what instruments their using though, especially if someone's playing a solid band instrument like brass or woodwinds saxes in particular.
