This week’s photo challenge is to show something you photograph regularly, something that inspires you to take more photos. To show us muse.
For me it’s often the sky. Prior to retirement I had a window at work on the top floor and regularly posted ‘window weather’ photos taken on my phone of the clouds, rain, and sun streaming by.
Now that I’m not working I have to go a bit further to find that wide open sky. But it’s still one of my favorite things to photograph; it changes frequently, it can be beautiful or dramatic; sometimes both. I’m always watching the sky, early morning, midday, and late into the evening. You never know what you’ll see.
Oh. Yes there’s also the sheltie-girl Katie in this shot, another muse. I have a few thousand photos of her in her many different moods. Today, as you can see, she’s a very happy girl. Because she loves to run, and because she knows I have treats.
You can see other interpretations of ‘muse’ at the original post. Or if you like, check out a few of my favorites, here, here and here.
And don’t miss this one.
What’s your photographic muse? You have time to show us, just post a photo on your blog and link to the original post. I can’t wait to see!

Katie’s long flowy locks are stunning! And the sky is pretty incredible too.

It was a totally beautiful afternoon. I had driven around looking for barns and there were hardly any clouds till I was almost done. Then these showed up. I rushed Katie over to her park for this specific shot. Worked out great.

I love the sky. I never tire of it either. Luckily for me Katie gets me up really early so I get to see a lot of the sky for several more hours than most people do.

Love the composition of this shot – the dramatic sky and the dramatic Katie go well together!

Thanks Karen! I put the camera on sport and just shot steadily till she got to me. Usually at least one of the shots is what I’m looking for.
