Getting away is not always possible. Even a few free hours each day might be more than you can manage.

There is still a way to turn the mundane into something interesting.

Imagine that you are a tourist in your own town. Try carrying around a camera and using it. Tourists see things; they are looking. They are finding unique angles, light, shadows, buildings, people.  Nurture a critical eye and appreciate what is near to home. Experience familiar places in a fresh way.

Our environment offers us plenty to appreciate and it is always evolving.
