I am grateful that I was lucky enough to be born into a family not in poverty, who was able to love, support, and take care of me. I am grateful that I was lucky enough … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”

When I was walking to the … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”

This picture was taken yesterday when I was hurrying to take landscape pictures for my Photography class, before we got washed out by the rain. While we were driving up the canyon, Dallas was telling me to look out for where I wanted to take my last pictures. When you get up to the very tops of the mountains around … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
