You are met face to face with what seem to be stairs
Nothing different or abnormal,
Yet it drags your attention.
Will you be ready to take a step? See where it'll take you
See where it'll lead you, where can you end up on this adventure?
Maybe a memory from the past or maybe to the future
What does it hold? truths or lies? maybe both?
But the question is will you be able to handle it?
Your adventure, your pathway, your choice.

This photo was taken at the park near the stairs that go to a small trail. It was a walking field trip but with friends and family. We saw a squirrel hoping all over the place. I think it was looking for food.
When it all comes down to a challenge...snakes, birds and worst of all, humans...they can all come and try to swoop in and get you (talking from the squirrels POV). Got to be fast or else.....
Let the adventure begin.

This photo was taken in the studio using 2 lights. On both lights, I had a color gel on each side. On the left light, I had a red color gel, and on the right, I had a red color gel. This gave the combo lighting effect. This photo is a high school graduate who is showing off her cap as well as her nails. When people think about graduating high school, they think about how their high school adventure ended and how the new adventure is starting. Whether it be college or work, A new adventure is starting.

This photo was taken from a fallen tree I found in Miami, Florida. I believe it relates to the contest theme because it represents my surprising adventure from Miami. I went to a city expecting to find amazing scenery of urban living, but I was very impressed by a piece of nature I found within the city. I found beauty within this piece, as it exemplifies nature's ability to find beauty within anything, even on a dead tree.

This photo was taken near a stream in Penaquitos Canyon Reserve. The reason this relates to adventure is that when I think of an adventure, I think of a magical, mystical adventure. Recently I've been taking nature hikes with my dad, and every time we go out it feels like an adventure. This photo (and the editing) were my way of making that adventure clear to my audience.

One's happy routine may be someone else's gloomy one. They're both traveling on the same road, on the same day, at the same time, with the same sunrise. So enjoy it. Where the sun shines, my adventure is just one of many others.

An adventure can be anything, with anyone, anywhere. But the most secretive, and personal adventure happens in the stories we read and hear. Not only are you reading through the characters personal adventure, you are creating yours along the way.

No matter how messed up the world is, a child’s sense of boundless wonder will override whatever darkness tries to get in their way.
When colors seemed brighter, the hushed talks in the kitchen were probably planning a surprise party and not about money, and there was an adventure around every corner.
It’s a kids world, and we’re just living in it.

Perhaps my adventure was not so crazy, however, my adventure was more focused on my inner peace; desired to seek peace in my mind, I went on this trip in the mountain, and on this trip this bird captured my eye. As it took flight I quickly snapped a picture and that was how this photo was born.
