This photo was taken in the Bay Area. I used to live there, but now I'm just a visitor. I have many memories from here since I was a kid but it doesn't feel the same. Whenever I felt off or iffy I would just leave finding my adventures, which is why it connects to this year's theme.

This photo fits the theme of adventure because it is a hillside showing the overwhelmingly beautiful views of the city.

Honorable Mention
The photo was taken at my high school and it relates to adventure because in this photo, you're looking at a plant through the lens ball, capturing it's focus on the plant. Looking through the lens ball and seeing this plant is showing how you can go on an adventure and find beauty in anything, even random plants. The lens ball emphasizes that.

This photo was taken outside with a lensball. This shows adventure because no matter the angle of the picture there's a lot going on.

A lot of people take bikes or just go out for runs for adventure, but for me, I love to take cars. This car is not mine, it is my brother car.

This photo was taken at home in my front yard. I choose this picture because life is an adventure.

This photo was taken at Interstate 10 at the Haugen-Lehman Way exit toward Railroad Avenue, Palm Springs in 2023. This photo personally relates to the theme "Adventure" because as I was taking it, it reminded me of when I would have my adventures in the past, being in the car with family and seeing the mountains in the distances or looking at the trains go past us carrying all those shipping containers that had me questioning what was in them. But now all I think about while looking at this photo is whether you like it or not, time flies. Every day is different, and life is an adventure. You can't set your path in life so just relax.

I chose the graveyard because life is a geat adventure. The adventure is started when you're born and ends when you're in the grave. The adventure has struggles but that is what is beautiful. On an adventure you lose people in your life, but you can also gain some. Although the end of the adventure isn't physically beautiful, it is mentally beautiful. The tombstone represents the end of your adventure.
The adventure teaches everything you need to know, you just need to take the right path. At the end of the adventure, the people who are there cared, and the ones who stay the longest or visit didn't want the adventure to end. Although when your adventure ends they can still continue on your adventure. Once you're in your final resting bed you can finally rest knowing that you have accomplished your adventure. The tombstone I chose belongs to Abner Weed. Abner Weed was a politician and a soldier. The tombstone shows the adventure of a politician, soldier and pioneer.

Life is about growth and choices; it is a journey. We should all have the desire, if not the ability to finish the race. Our paths can be very similar, while our outcomes can be very different. We can take the different paths to the same destination but the thing that truly determines the outcome is the effort and energy we put into our ADVENTURE.

This photo was taken at my friend’s house. We were doing experiments for our science project. We were trying to open an apple cider vinegar bottle to measure its viscosity, but we could not. We decided to poke it with a straw, and it burst all over the place. We poured it into the measuring cup. I took the picture with her phone, choosing the lighting and placement. This photo relates to this year’s contest theme, “Adventure,” because we had a really big one right before this picture was taken. Let’s just say, we smelled like apple cider vinegar for the rest of the day.

Little Bird, you have such a large open space,
perched upon a rock formation in Arches National Park.
I wonder what adventures you have had.
Do you enjoy swooping over or under the arches?
I wish I could soar and see it like you.
I wonder what kind of adventures you have.
How much of the world have you seen?
Do you always fly over national parks?
Do you sometimes stop in the city to have a French fry or two?
I wish so much I could ask you what your days are like.
Oh, dear Little Bird, please tell me what your adventures are like.
Are they mysterious and exciting?
Are they silly and chill?
Could they possibly be death defying?!
Have you ever been chased by a bald eagle?
Do you have a plan to see every national park in the U.S., like me?
Or could you possibly just be passing through?
There is so much I wonder about your adventures!
I hope I soar just like you do…

This shows adventure because of imagination, the different ideas you can think of. The hiking trail we took to find this little hut was pretty fascinating, all the green and different colors. There are many things you can imagine while going in as a little kid. A kid's imagination is endless and that's the coolest thing about this.

As my sister and I were driving, we thought of taking pictures. I felt the composition of this picture represents adventure through the colors of the sky and what you can see through the mountains from high up, "on the edge".

This place started it all. I saw a picture of Apostle Islands and couldn't believe this amazing place was in the United States. It inspired a quest. I was determined to visit all 50 states and enjoy something unique the state had to offer. Wisconsin was the beginning of the ADVENTURE and also the conclusion...state #50!

The photo was taken in a bush with a micro lens that zoomed in and focused on the branch.
This photo relates to this year's theme adventure because it's like being lost in the branches. The adventure is inside the bush, all the twist and turns it has inside and different shapes.

Adventure can be traveling across the world to a new destination, going skydiving over the Atlantic Ocean, or rock climbing a 90-degree mountain on another continent. Adventure can be ANYWHERE! My photo represents adventure and that you can do anything by showing a map with a pinned point. Keep putting pins on your map and creating new adventures. My photo, also, is in color on the inside of two strings. I chose this to show that your life is an adventure and to shine everyday by just being you.

January 13, 2024 at Millerton Lake State Recreation Area, Meadows Loop Campsite. A camping adventure to honor the life and loss of our dear sweet chiweenie dog named Max. Max passed away peacefully in his sleep days before, just shy of 17 years old.

This photo was taken when I traveled to Mexico in Morelia, Michoacán at a bull riding event. The bull kept jumping very high and the bull rider would still stay on so I decided to take a photo and try to get them in mid air.

My husband takes me on a motorcycle adventure every summer. This ride was through the redwood forest in Northern California. Riding a motorcycle through the forest is the best way to experience it. You can feel the cool crisp air on your face and smell the fresh scent of the trees.
