This photo was taken in a bowling alley at a family gathering. The reason I chose this photo to represent the contest's theme of Participation is because family gatherings are important to be a part of. Being with your family and partaking in the activity goes a long way, even if it seems like something simple and basic, it builds important and strong bonds. Although family gatherings are some times considered a basic thing that occurs to others, don't ever overlook the importance of these gatherings. Even if they happen constantly, feel gleeful that you can have them, feel grateful that they are a part of your life.
