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
Such delicateness captured in these tiny buds! Excellent close-up!
A beautiful close-up with a fine depth of field.
Délicate et belle. La simplicité a beaucoup de charme.
Je suis bien d’accord sur les petits bonheurs qui nous entourent dans la vie de chaque jour.
Il suffit d’apprécier la nature.
I loved the simplicity of your flower images Sherri
i like the way that you framed this delicate flower Sherri…
the quote by Robert Louis Stevenson is very grounding….peter:)
Oh yes, yes, yes! I so agree with him. That’s my life.
Interesting how you framed this and, given the quote, I can understand why. Or at least, in my mind, I understand why 😉
The addition of the texture is bonus and truly adds to the overall image. Very nicely done.
Beautiful image. I like the way you framed it. Nice quote but I’m glad that some people do grasp at the stars.
an ordinary weed to be appreciated as Mr Stevenson suggests. good pairing of words and image.
Such a beautiful quote and a lovely image to go along with it. I love the soft focus and the color.
That is such lovely bright processing. Beautiful.
So very true, Sherri. So often what’s in our own backyard is the best of all treasures to see/find.
i have always had my nose in the clouds, i try to look down, but mostly fail lol this is such a beautiful picture, so delicate!

A beauty, sherry! It’s art.
Nature’s beautiful bouquet. Yes I agree with today’s quote.
You are absolute right with the words and image
