Lisa Skyheart Marshall: Pursuing Inspiration, Quietly

You might not notice me, out looking for inspiration for my work. Why? I'm usually in stealth mode, seeking out unique features of plants and their blossoms and trying to be quiet so as not to disturb the creatures I encounter.

I love to be surprised by unexpected residents of a plot I'm exploring. In this case it was a group of rabbits happily lunching in the shade of an oak tree, unperturbed by my presence.
