The best things in life are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life’s plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.
— Robert Louis Stevenson said that
I like your treatment here, sherri – the muted red is especially good
A beautiful vision of life’s simple pleasures.
My grandchildren would love that tractor!
Superbe sepia, c’est tout beau Sherri!!! Bise, bonne journée toute douce!
Nice advice. Your photos have such a vintage or timeless look with the muted colors. I keep waiting for you to pop one out with bright intense colors and shock us all. 😉
Simple Dayly Life ! Great composition .
I’m not sure he is right though. Surely good to aim for the stars 🙂
Beautiful (sepia) editng and also a fine composition.
That Robert Louis Stevenson was one smart cookie.
That is a lovely shot.
A wonderful scene. It looks so peaceful. A wonderful quote.
I agree that the hint of color is a fine addition.
Cool shot of that old tractor. Brings back memories.
This reminds me, Sherri, about the importance of living in the NOW. And about being thankful for the little things!
i have so little to do, that indeed i do take pleasure in doing that little 🙂
lovely rustic scenery!
Une très belle photo !!! J’aime beaucoup les couleurs !
Ce ciel ce vieux tracteur quel ensemble et tonalité sueprbe
Belle journée
I like the timeless feel of the treatment.
Robert Louis Stevenson was very right. We tend to travel far and wide to find what matters in life, while in fact it’s just right where you are. I like you nostalgic and beautiful photo. 🙂
Beautiful and rustic
and therefore, much for us to be grateful every waking moment of the day, Sherri.
Interesting processing with the muted colors!!
You’ve taken a modern photo and created the mood of R.L. Stevenson’s subject very well. Love his thoughts here.
