For my avatar photo, I chose a photo of some flowers that were growing in the neighborhood where I grew up. I took this photo on some sort of nature walk, or at least as close to a nature walk as it could get in a smaller suburban city. Lately, flowers have become some sort of reminder to me to take note that there is more to my surroundings than what I usually see on the daily. I tend to focus on things that I need or want to do and taking a nature walk or even just stopping to look at my surroundings let's me pause to think about the nicer things that are rarely seen. I've started to take photos of flowers recently, small reminders that there are things of beauty surrounding me while I go about my day.
