Today's post gave me much to think about. It brought to mind the comic strip, "Family Circus", which would occasionally highlight the wandering, circuitous route taken by a youngster while traveling from Point A to Point B. Your post also prompted a long ago memory of a burned out customer whose common response to an initial greeting was "same old sh**, just a different day". Finally, the concept of maintaining an adventurous mindset, regardless of physical restrictions, can be so important to prisoners, shut-ins, and others.

Like you, I’ve often walked an area to see what might not be obvious from afar. Love that Proust quote! An enjoyable read.

This speaks to me in volumes as I am reconnecting with being led by curiosity, regained consciousness, and play. I love just letting these 3 things lead me through discovery and creation.

I also have an example of making the most of the space you are in. Over the course of a few months, I have taken almost 500 abstract images of sunrises and sunsets from a couple of second floor windows of my home.

I suffer from quite a bit of indecision about where to go to capture images as a photographer but have created one of my favorite sets of work from a window of my home.
