Everything Begins Somewhere - Lily Pads Photograph

Inspiration strikes at the most inconvenient times, and I rarely have paper or a pen nearby. If your brain is anything like mine, ideas enter and then run away as quickly as possible. So take advantage of them when they come and write them down. Writing idea down when I get them is one of [...]
