This is my first attempt at taking a selfie. The fact that I am unskilled shines in this photo as I had trouble finding an angle that was able to show my whole face and the tree rings at the same time. While on a group hiking trip, we stumbled upon a tree chopped in half so I brought out my phone that began an awkward 3 minutes of me positioning myself several different ways in order to get everything until I pushed the button and this is what came out. This set a theme for the most of my other selfies which became a joke within the group on the hiking trip.
When I gazed upon this small pond surrounded by green grass, I couldn't help but become fascinated as this piece of land stayed healthy while everywhere else fell victim to the California drought, turning brown and dry. The photo does not show the abundance of mini frogs that lived on this pond, proving that it was able to sustain a population.
This was a group photo taken on the hike. We began this journey eager to find something on the list and this was one of the first things we found.
