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.

I can imagine them twittering away together, sherri
This is excellent Sheri, I love it.
Nice simplicity.
William Henry Channing had his symphony well “orchestrated”! 🙂
Your minimalistic composition has a nice Hitchcock feel to it.
A gorgeous image with the birds. Love the processing, too.
What a fabulous quote for this equally fabulous image, Sherri!
I love the minimalistic look here Sherri

The red-winged variety, I assume 🙂
nice use of negative space
Gotta love this symphony. And, yes, it a gorgeous photo a symphony in few tones.
i love the picture and the quote!!! and they sure do go together! you’re brilliant!
nice crop with that twiggy, b/w, Sherri
Love the placement of the bird filled tree.
That is a wonderful shot. Love the processing.
I like the minimalism effect in this shot, nice result.
I love how you’ve composed this – with the subjects just in the lower right quadrant!
This is lovely Sherri!
wonderful use of space in this framing Sherri….peter:)
what a fabulous quote. Wise words to live by.
And I love this wonderfully calm and minimalist image. The texture used is a perfect pairing too. I’m always partial to images that have lots of negative space.
