This photograph was taken at the beach shortly before sunset. As I was mesmerized by the sunset, I saw a small seagull approaching the beach. It was low tide and the waves gently rolled onto the seagull’s feet. The seagull was hesitant about the soft call he heard from the ocean and looked to the side, uncertain.
I have always been mystified of sea adventures on a dangerous ship with crashing waves along its bow or cruising along calm waters with peaceful sunsets. My ancestors were fishermen and farmers, so I hear the call of the ocean. In this picture, like the seagull, I have two feet planted on solid ground waiting and calculating my next steps as a student trying to navigate through middle school. There are many possibilities to choose from life; and yet, the pressure of the rolling waves represents the pressure to succeed and choose who I want to be. I know life will be an adventure and I need to muster enough courage to pursue my passion to succeed.

I would say that this photo can be well connected with the theme because an adventure can be described as an activity or an experience that you feel excited to do. In this walk that my family and I took on the trip felt like another memory that can be stored up so it can never be forgotten. It made me feel like this experience is a feeling that you won't ever get to relive again. It's a memory that will be brought up when we're old and we can remember a fun adventure we had as a family.

My adventure was a trip to the animal kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida. There were many trees, animals, and very adventurous things to explore.

We all went for a hike near Adobe Falls. This shot shows a bunch of my friends near the water. The water was higher than we expected that day. I like this picture because it is simple and has friends in the background. I had fun taking photos that day.

This photo was taken in April of 2023, right below the Mendocino mountains on a cool spring evening. This photograph was taken on a chilly walk in the foothills while exploring our beloved mother nature, and taking in the cool spring air.

Anytime you leave the house, you go on an adventure. You may not think of it, but even walking your dog, walking to school, and riding a bus daily are all adventures. Adventures outside are amazing experiences every time, such as hiking. This is a great way to explore nature and go places you might not originally think of when you wake up. Going on this hike was unusual, as we had to cross the stream many times, which made my shoes very wet by the end of the walk. Even though it wasn't the easiest trip, the adventure that came from it will not be forgotten.

Humans are always searching for something to fulfill their lives. It could be an invention, achievement, or even an idea. However, embarking on an adventure is the one thing that can occur at any stage of our lives. We may not know what that adventure will be, but it is always present. It can take various forms, such as a calm hike in the late afternoon or discovering a new hobby. But when it all comes down to it, adventure is something that each and every one of us possesses.

The photo was taken at a ski resort where my dad and I were skiing when the clouds rolled in on us. It made seeing the differences in the snow hard to spot. Not only did the clouds make the trails a different kind of adventure, but being on the mountain was an adventure in itself.

This is a photo of a tree that caught my eye as I was exploring Hedge Creek Falls for the very first time in many years with my boyfriend. It was his first time coming up north, so I wanted to get out of the house and show him around. No matter what I do, or where I go it's always an adventure with my boyfriend. We ended up taking short cuts and I was really slow, but at the end of all the stress our adventure was not over. We had to climb back up all the shortcuts. On my way back to safety, I saw this beautiful tree that got my attention. I will always remember my adventure when I see this tree.

This photo was taken in historic uptown Whittier. My mother went here as a kid and now we get to go together. We walk up and down the street to the many stores, and my mom tells me about how my grandma and papa took her here and to the same movie theatre. This has been an adventure that we like to do together.

I took this photo from my airplane window while I was heading back from my trip. My photo relates to the theme “Adventure” because the photo shows my adventure from Singapore to my home. Another reason why my photo shows adventure is because I traveled to my parents hometown and I had a really exciting experience traveling outside the country.
