Sometimes I just feel sapped. Like I don’t even have enough creative energy left to describe the tiniest little thing, like a baby chipmunk’s eyelashes or those coin shaped batteries they use in singing cards. When that happens, I know its time to, as Julia Cameron describes in her book The Artist’s Way, fill the creative well. One my favorite ways of doing that is taking photos. Its a small thing, but capturing a bit of the beauty in the world around me with my smartphone sometimes gives me the boost I need to carry on.

So thank you tree branch, sky, and setting sun, and of course my HTC Amaze which lets it all happen, you inspire me.
