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

A good photograph can be found anywhere. And anything makes a worthy subject. When we take the time to look for light and angles, when we play with composition and framing, even the most boring and plain objects reveal beauty and inspire thankfulness. We just have to train our eye to see it. So wherever you are in your photography journey...keep taking pictures. You may feel ridiculous at first but it'll be worth it.

  3. Sooooo true! I adore both these awesome still-life compositions. I especially love the light and water droplets in the first photo of the green onions. The second one makes me hungry! Blessings. . .

    1. Thanks, Betty Jo! I am learning to work more and more with still life's just because of what you can learn about composition and what is pleasing to the eye.
