I have a good desk, an ok chair, photos on the walls, some family, some inspirational and a demotivational poster in my home office. There are two windows by my desk so my cats and I can keep tabs on the movements of the neighborhood cats. Overall it’s a good work environment. Sometimes I need out get out and clear my head. One my favorite ways to do this is heading down to a coffee shop for a nice change of scenery. Until we moved into our new place this involved hopping in the car and driving there. Now, my favorite coffee shop, Lux, is within walking distance. At least while it’s under 110 degrees.

Now when I need a change of environment, I’ll grab my laptop, my camera and my walking shoe before I head out. This allows me to explore my neighborhood a little and find interesting photos along the way.

There’s nothing like a creative bust before you get back to work.
