Sandals Beneath Our Feet
Most of the time, for most of us, but not always, things like these are immediately beneath our feet. Like old friends they’re comfortable to be with, have seen some miles with us, have many more miles to go and have more than a few stories to tell.

What’s my inspiration? This is sort of like Muse II. I didn’t do very well discovering an inspirational muse. I’m not going to do well with this one. But the answer is everything and nothing.
Everything, because everything has a story to tell, something to learn. Nothing because, once everything is inspirational there’s no differentiation between inspirational and not inspirational – neither exists without the other. Inspiration just becomes the new norm.

A muse? Hmmm… Seldom do I think that deeply. In fact, to generalize the last sentence, seldom do I think. But to go along with the challenge, the sky could be my muse. Most light comes from the sky. Light is something that inspires photographers. In its own right, the sky is notable as the canvas for sunrises, sunsets, weather, clouds, sun, moon and stars. To celebrate the sky, here’s a cloudscape.

I cheated. Again. Sorry. In order to come close to the challenge I included the histogram for photo in the challenge (and a little bit of my desktop wallpaper). So here’s the cheat and the final photo.

With summer officially only a few days away, it’s usually time to go down to the river for a picnic. Except when the creek rises and then, it’s the off-season.
