On my commute I pass the same spots of wilderness and farmlands almost every day. The land mostly goes unnoticed as I listen to podcasts and make phone calls.  But while working on this project, I stopped, looked, and stole moments while the seasons changed.  I drove off each exit I normally speed past and I allowed myself the luxury of wandering. I found beautiful scenery everywhere I went.  The places were mundane and ordinary, not wonders or spots of notoriety, and yet that is part of what I found most lovely.  It was as though with each click of the shutter I reclaimed the time that had been stolen from me with each drive.
