This photo was taken when I went to visit the beautiful campus of UC Riverside on a rainy, gloomy day. This relates to the theme of adventure because I decided to take a trip to this school even with the weather not being the best, highlighting how I am willing to endure setbacks to have a good time and ultimately to travel a journey, while putting myself out there.

This photograph was taken in our driveway at home. My son loves to run up and down the driveway on rainy days and jump in all of the puddles. On this day in particular it was time for his cars to go on a road trip adventure down the driveway to get mail. Of course the driver had to traverse through all of the steep hills and huge lakes created by the rain. I love watching my son as he lets his imagination run wild on extraordinary adventures. He turns ordinary tasks into grand adventures!

This is an image of the outdoors in my community during a rainstorm. It relates to the theme of "Adventure" by commenting on the treacherous aspects of exploring and going on an adventure. Putting ourselves out in the world, to embrace our curiosity, isn't all sunshine and rainbows. An adventure includes some hardships, and only once a journey is accomplished will there be rainbows. We must not only push towards the result, but also embrace the discomfort of the journey, as those are important memories to take forward throughout the rest of our lives.

This picture relates to adventure because it show the beauty you find in an adventure. To me, an adventure is what you take to learn something about yourself.

My family took a vacation which was nothing short of an epic adventure. We visited local ball parks, national parks and when we were hiking we came across this beautiful piece of heaven. This photo represents the beauty of enjoying an adventure!

Photo was taken in Fall 2023 in Temecula, California. Fueled by liquified gas stored in pressure vessels, the fire that spews out from the burner heats and fills the balloon. The balloon filled with rising hot air lifts off the ground, marking the beginning of a new adventure.

The ski lift whirls around and sweeps me off my feet. Sailing through the air, the lift takes us higher and higher up the snow-covered mountain. We're in California, but this isn't a movie set; yet, we sit under the limelight of the sun shining down on us. Today is my first time learning how to snowboard. Most of the other kids are taking snowboarding lessons on the bunny slopes, but for me, I'm riding up the ski lift to the top of China Peak alongside my father. Nervously, I think, "Maybe I should have started on the bunny slopes," but no. I wanted to see the world from the top of the mountain! This is my adventure; this is my California.

I took this photo when I was taking a walk at my boyfriend’s grandma's house. She has a lot of property to take walks on and it feels like an adventure. It was taken recently at the time of the Super Bowl, and I wanted to take a walk before the game started. It looked like it was going to rain but the weather fooled people. When I took this picture it was blocked off by a gate and I went around the gate. There was a bridge that you go through and it's where I took this image. I stood on the edge to get the best view. I took multiple shots but this was the best because it included the sky that looked more full in the picture. It's an image where I see myself sitting there in silence and thinking in my own world.

My family went on a trip to Yosemite. I took the photo with a leading line that sends your eyes into the Yosemite tunnel view and it makes you ask what adventure will come next. Perspective was an important focus for me in this shot. This was a rare occasion when my family went on an adventure.

This photo was taken at Mammoth Lakes on a road trip with my family. We stopped by a hot spring and in the parking lot, we discovered a new way to pitch up a tent. This photo shows adventure through the thought that the person in that car was exploring the world and just camping out at this spot. Having the tent on the car shows that they're always on the move.

We went on a hike with my class to take some photos. I saw this rocky trail while I was walking. It was my favorite photo from the group I took.
