This is an ocean view in Santa Cruz. I'm grateful that, after almost a year of being separated from my uni friends due to distance, we could still go back to where it all started and reconnect with each other.

This is a picture I took of my cousin interacting with the rescued turtle at the UC San Diego Aquarium. My cousin excitedly pointed out the turtle to me and his hand caught the turtles attention. It was a sweet moment and the turtle followed my cousins finger. I was able to capture the end of the moment when they were staring at each other. I'm grateful for aquariums because they allow us to have up close moments with marine life.

This picture is of a couple years ago around my senior year of high school. I like this picture solely for the reason that I usually don't take photos as I am incredibly socially awkward and nervous so knowing that I took at least one photo despite my troubles means a lot to myself, if that makes any sense.

This picture shows my work-in-progress car and my moms modded truck. Looking at this makes me reflect back when my mom and I were struggling, not even being able to afford food at times, but with both of our hard work we are now able to live comfortably. It makes me feel really grateful for hard work and what can come out of it

Summer 2023.
Picture of my best friend holding a small glass full of paint, ready to pour it over the figurine.
We were in full artistic swing, meaning that we didn't know what we were going to do...but that was okay, part of the plan, I hope.
I also hope to always look for spontaneous moments like this.

This is a picture of an attraction that me and my younger brother went on in Universal Studios. My parents saw that my brother was interested in visiting the park to see the new attractions available, so they bought tickets for us to go over the summer. I am very grateful for my family for bringing us on many entertaining vacations on our breaks.

I took this picture last summer when I was in Italy (Puglia) with my family. We found this beautiful restaurant where you could enjoy a lovely view. The sunset lasted for more than 20 minutes changing the shades of color from orange to violet. It was incredible! I think it's my favorite part of the day, especially when you're at the beach, in the heat and with people you like.

This summer was the first time in four years I was able to visit my parents. The journey took 25 hours. The three of us mostly sat together, retelling old stories of childhood memories. As my parents age, I am increasingly aware that each visit might be the last time we are together.

This picture was me and my friend visiting the Stoneman Family Farm, pulling out weeds and appreciating an ambiance of natures and different plants. I usually don't really tend to go to places like these so it was a new experience. I grateful to go to this farm because it gave me so much inspiration for art while being directly in front of nature, and I had a major art block at the time having no motivation to do art for a while. Visiting this farm brought my creativity back to life.

This picture of bottled tea at 99 Ranch is from when I went out with a few friends last week before they drove out to college again. One friend recommended I try them, so I snapped a photo in case I forgot later. I'm very grateful for my friends!

This is the tree my grandfather planted in the center of my backyard. I am grateful for all the care he put into our yard.

I've been injured for months so I don't have any epic summer adventures to show, but I have a picture of a desk I managed to pick out for my Mom's new job at the furniture store I worked at. She loves it!

I've been injured all summer so I don't have any epic adventures to show, but here's a picture of a standing desk I picked out for my Mom at the furniture store I worked at. She loves it and it has helped her with working at home this summer.

This is a picture of my family's old car when I took years ago. Sometime last year the car ended up in an accident and was deemed totaled. This car meant a lot to me and family and the fact that it's no longer with us makes me sad. Looking back at this picture, I really like how the clouds behind the car formed a shape of a mountain. I can already picture replacing the parking lot with an open field as a Photoshop project.

This picture is of the beach in Hawaii, specifically in Maui. I went with three of my friends and it was the best trip I have ever had. The beaches and water are absolutely spectacular. I would tell anyone if they never been to Hawaii, GO!

This pic was taken after a long hike in Yosemite.  We found this lake and the water was crystal clear.  It was so calming and refreshing but also freezing!  I am grateful to have had the experience of this hike.

My family and I went on a trip to Yosemite this summer and I found lots of inspiration in the beauty of Yosemite.  Being there in person really takes your breath away.  We were on a hike and it was a hot day.  We came across this watering hole which was a much appreciated break from the heat.  The water was ice cold and the scenery was incredible.  I was so grateful for this spot, it recharged us so that we finished the hike in good spirits.

My friends and i every summer go to one of our cabins for a week and it’s such a great time to reconnect with everyone. We all look forward to it throughout the year and it always goes by way too fast. It’s such an amazing place since the river is literally our backyard and we spend all day in the water and then have game and movie nights. It makes me so grateful for all my friends and the new friends that join us each year!

This summer, I was able to take a trip to Yosemite with some friends I hadn't seen in a very long time. Not only was it great to catch up with them, but it was also refreshing to be surrounded by nature. There was a lot of hiking throughout the hot summer day, but it was worth it because of the view of the sun-setting on Half Dome, which allowed me to compose this photo.

This is a picture of my lovely cat named Simba. I adopted him from PetSmart a few months ago while I peeked at all the cats that need to be adopted. Simba had been in a cage for two months already and I just couldn't resist myself, so I had to take him home with me. However, now I do own two cats and I am more than grateful to have them in my life.

This picture of a rainbow in my backyard is from when I hung out with my Grandma after she moved to Iowa 4 years ago. This rainbow was strangely odd at this time, so I took a photo to remember this day with her. I was glad I got to witness this with her, because it was the first time in 4 years that I hung out with my Grandma.
