I carry an iPad all the time and whenever I'm still for long enough to get it up and my word precessor or Scrivener open I write. It may only be a few minutes, but sometimes it's an hour or more. Doctors office, restaurant, coffee shops, street benches, parks, essentially anywhere I can watch people or nature. I collect characters and scenes for stories, sometimes I just watch because people crack me up. I spend a lot of time on my porch watching the world pass by when it's warm, days into night at times.
One of my favorite times was A summer rain, clouds sweeping over dropping rain until a patch opened for sun, letting it show the diamond like sparkles before the first new drops started their 'Crater-Creation' on the surface of puddles again. It shifted between sun and rain eight times over two hours.
I enjoyed that Haiku, it brought back many memories of watching squirls and chipmunks with cheeks so full they dropped as many as they kept and walked with a list. I lived in the country and had favorite spots to spend hours watching and thinking and laughing at them. I think I became a family member over time. Of course I fed them too.
Thank you for sharing.
Paul
