| Since moving to LA my photography has tapered off. It is not that there isn't anything inspiring around me, but instead that I have been making a big adjustment. There is a peace that nature brings me that I don't know how to find any other way. Sometimes it feels like all there is around me is concrete now, which, of course, is not true. I will start to post photos of my new home. But, I found a peace the other day that I had missed while visiting family for Thanksgiving weekend. I went to the San Diego Zoo's Safari Park (the Wild Animal Park) and spent a good while observing a busy pond of birds, mostly coots inundating the flamingo pond, but there were a few of these little guys there too. At first I thought this was just a young coot getting its' bearings off in a secluded corner, but I have since discovered it is a different bird altogether, a Common Gallinule. I'm happy to have met this little creature. There is something settled I gathered from these moments that I have brought back with me. |
Here on The Muse's Routine I'll explore what inspires me to make art daily. I'll share photographs of patterning, objects like candy wrappers, plants, animals, bugs and anything else that I come across physically and want a record of to get my mind whirring.

Not a Young Coot but a Common Gallinule
