I love wild plants just as long as they’re not in my yard. 😀
Moss climbing a rock
Grass growing out of the crevice of the rock
Growth from crumbly soil
Growth from untamed soil

A Photo a Week Challenge: Unexpected Window
As I was watching TV last night and mindlessly browsing my photos on my tablet, I came across this picture and thought, of course, how can I forget this picture?
I shot this picture two years ago as I was visiting Mount Rushmore. There was a small opening along the trail and I remember looking up upon entering and thought, this is a nice, unique perspective of George Washington.

Wits End Weekly Photo Challenge: Interesting Light
I think it’s interesting how the sunshine is casting a glow (almost like a spotlight) upon the trees.
Interesting how the top is a lighter color due to sunlight exposure. It’s almost a translucent blue.
This was taken in a cave lit mostly by the hole above the pool.
This was taken in a dark cave with little to no visible lighting. This light is from my aunt’s phone. She turned on the light to allow me to take this picture since I hadn’t master how to use the flash at the time.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
