To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common–this is my symphony.~William Henry Channing

Sweet Shot Tuesday #2

The roses were my subject; delicate petals with the gentle curl, soft white with a tinge of brown as they were beginning to fade. But the baby's breath caught my eye and I moved closer noticing this one coming into focus and the rest a blurry softness of background.


If you have a minute pop in over at Sweet Shot Tuesday and see what everyone is shooting these days.

    1. Thanks, Suzanne! Honestly I just put it on manual focus and swayed around a bit until I had a good composition and focus :-)

  6. So so pretty and you have captured the delicateness of this sweet flower. I used to always put sprays of baby's breath (if I could find it) in our Christmas tree. It always made everything just pop and it dried beautifully.
