I used to spend hours exploring "the woods" with my friends when I first moved to Florida. We caught dozens of tadpoles, catfish, lighting-fast emerald-like anole lizards with long flicking tails, sticky green tree frogs, and lumpy brown toads. My favorite animal discoveries were the jewel hued skinks, elegant, ebony lizards with luminous scales and electric blue tails. You had to be lucky to catch them darting beneath decaying leaves were they felt safe.
I know I've "grown up" when I'm content to just be there in nature with the same creatures rather than going out of my way to disturb them. Then again, I just don't see them even on the rare occasion I make it back out to the "woods" I love. The North Florida biodiversity just isn't what it used to be in the late 90s. Regardless, getting back to nature is a special source for creativity and inspiration.
It reminds me that all the hours I spend here on the internet making dat buck, writing away, and selling away, through pleasurable times and stressful times, is for one thing. I do it all because I want MORE time to spend out there: in the woods, at the beach, in the water, exploring urban and natural scenes, just exploring! Being in nature, experiencing this planet and its art and culture is what I live for. And working for myself gives me the flexible schedule to get into whenever I want to.
What inspires you when you're in a rut with work? Your family/kid, walks, pets, dinosaurs, murder? (Ha, just making sure you're paying attention.)
I too, grew up in the woods exploring trails and catching little critters. (snakes and snails were my favourite) I miss my old home, we lived really close to a woods with trails for a long time and I would go all year round whenever I needed to think or be alone or just to get fresh air. Even in the winter time. Those were some good times.
ReplyDeleteThey were indeed good times. I'm making a point to walk all the trails in town, it's so sad that I've only walked a couple after living here over a decade.
DeleteI've become more of a homebody inadvertently, working from home and all, scheduling time to go out and explore more. Now's a good time in Florida, before it gets crazy hot outside!

DeleteVery nice pictures! Getting out in the "real" world is a great cure for being in a rut.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! I can't wait to schedule (haha) more time to get into it. I want to explore everything I haven't seen in the city and then expand to nearby places from there. Florida has so much to see!

ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos! I try to draw inspiration from as many sources as possible. From books and magazines to friends and family (my sister can make any outfit work, seriously). I'd love to take a time out to enjoy some natural inspiration. Of course we have parks and trails I'd love to explore. But once the weather here in Philly stays consistently warm I'll be taking the camera downtown for some architectural inspiration too!
ReplyDelete<3 Jackie @ Let's Go Thrifting
Thank you, there was much beauty to display that day, had to hold back and just share a few instead of the dozens of photos I took. Philly had so much to explore, I was in awe! I can't wait to visit again...when it warms up. Can't handle the cold!
DeleteI take walks by the ocean - my favorite thing. If too windy or cold we switch to the forest. It is so calming.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get out to the beaches soon, so many to explore down here that I haven't even been to yet!
DeleteGrowing up, there was a "hunting" trail behind my house, that hunters used to go deeper into the woods, closer to the swamp, for hunting purposes. I used to walk and ride my bike down that trail quite often. Its probably a wonder I never got shot!
ReplyDeleteI remember once riding around a curve on my bike, and I encountered a cute site. A turtle and a deer had met in the center of the path. The deer was leaning down, and the turtle had its head streched WAY up, and they were touching noses.
Of course, the deer took off immediately, but its a memory I'll have forever.
As for work ruts....I work a retail job. I'm pretty sure it WOULD take murder to break that work rut.
Aw, the turtle and deer scene! I paid my dues to the retail gods and was bored to tears working it for years. I feel your pain. Murder, indeed!
DeleteI totally disagree. I was in Florida not too long ago, and not in the 90s, and I saw all those things and way more...armadillos, tortoises, turtles, alligators, LOTS of birds, and even a wild cat! It's definitely still out there.
ReplyDeleteI don't make it out enough, gotta explore more.
DeleteThanks for sharing. I have to admit, I'm not much of an outdoor type person. I'm more of a homebody and love to putter around the house, baking, cooking, and creating. One of my favorite ways to get out of a rut with work is doing something creative - baking, crafting, or making up funny stories with my stuffies.

Besides my C course, I have a job and family, both of which compete to get my time. I couldn't find sufficient time for the challenging C assignments, and these people came in and saved my skin. I must commend them for the genius Programming Assignment Help. Their C Homework Help tutors did the best job and got me shining grades.
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a Statistics Assignment Help expert for Statistics Homework Help. I have struggled enough with statistics and therefore I just can't do it anymore on my own. . I have come across your post and I think you are the right person to provide me with SPSS homework help. Let me know how much you charge per assignment so that I can hire you today
ReplyDeleteMatlab Assignment Help helped me to complete my seventh Matlab assignment, which was also the best-performed! It scored 92/100, which I've never scored before on any other assignment/exam in my lifetime. Otherwise, their service was as quick as usual. The delivery was also on time. I'm now requesting to use this same programmer multiple times. He seems the best in Image Processing tasks. Meanwhile, I'll ask for more Matlab Homework Help soon.
ReplyDeleteI have just come across your post and I believe this is exactly what I am looking for. I want an economics assignment help from a tutor who can guarantee me a top grade. Do you charge per page or does it depend on the
ReplyDeletebulk of the economics homework help being completed? More to that if the work is not good enough do you offer free corrections.
Hey STATA homework help expert, I need to know if you can conduct the Kappa measurement of agreement. This is what is in my assignment. I can only hire someone for statistics assignment help if they are aware of the kappa measurement of agreement. If you can do it, then reply to me with a few lines of what the kappa measure of agreement is. Let me know also how much you charge for statistics homework help in SAS.
ReplyDeleteMe and my classmates took too long to understand Matlab Assignment Help pricing criteria. we're always grateful for unique solutions on their Matlab assignments. Matlab Homework Help experts have the right experience and qualifications to work on any programming student's homework. They help us in our project.
ReplyDeleteHi, other than economics assignment help are there other subjects that you cover? I am having several assignments one needs an economics homework help expert and the other one needs a financial expert. If you can guarantee quality work on both then I can hire you to complete them. All I am sure of is that I can hire you for the economics one but the finance one I am not sure.
ReplyDeleteHello. Please check the task I have just sent and reply as soon as possible. I want an adjustment assignment done within a period of one week. I have worked with an Accounting Homework Help tutor from your team and therefore I know it’s possible to complete it within that period. Let me know the cost so that I can settle it now as your Accounting Assignment Help experts work on it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge number of students. Are they from the same country or different countries? I also want your math assignment help. I want to perform in my assignments and since this is what you have been doing for years, I believe you are the right person for me. Let me know how much you charge for your math homework help services.
ReplyDeleteI don’t have time to look for another expert and therefore I am going to hire you with the hope that I will get quality economics assignment help .Being aneconomics homework help professor I expect that your solutions are first class. All I want to tell you is that if the solutions are not up to the mark I am going to cancel the project.
ReplyDeleteHey there, I need an Statistics Homework Help expert to help me understand the topic of piecewise regression. In our lectures, the concept seemed very hard, and I could not understand it completely. I need someone who can explain to me in a simpler way that I can understand the topic. he/she should explain to me which is the best model, the best data before the model and how to fit the model using SPSS. If you can deliver quality work then you would be my official Statistics Assignment Help partner.
ReplyDeleteHow much do you charge for a Statistics Assignment Help task? Take, for statistics assignment experts my case, where I need you to provide me with the Statistics Homework Help on plotting a scatter plot with a regression line? How much should that cost? Do you charge on the basis of the workload or have a constant payment?
