Today I walked over a crosswalk line with some broken pavement and had a flash! It's a familiar feeling of beauty worth exploring so I went back to photograph it. I saw a branch and a mountain/stream scene in the line. I enhanced them to help you see what I saw as the subject matter. Finding patterns in stone is great fun and satisfying in some basic way.  I see recognizable patterns in many things and I've learned to notice and record them. I think artists, like poets, movie directors, etc. relish collecting daily observations to be used later in their art.
