I took these photos in my front yard. These were the hardest photos for me to take. The problem I was having was that I needed to lay down on my chest to get the photo. This isn't really an issue, but the problem was that people would stare me down when I was on the ground. Another problem I had was trying to get the right lighting. I took the photos at around 3 or 4 in the afternoon so the lighting would be good. That was my second attempt at taking them because I tried to do it the day before at around 7pm and the lighting was really bad. So I just waited for the night to go, and I did it the next day. I am trying to show kind of a calm atmosphere. The feeling you get when you are outside and there is a little breeze of wind.
I took these pictures in my backyard in this creek type area. There is this really cool looking plant in my backyard. I think there about five or six of them there. My only problem was that the way the plants grew was all around each other. These plants are super sharp and they hurt more than you would think. I had to manage my elbow over one of the plants and hope that my forearm didn't touch the plant. The next picture I took was much easier because I could take a photo without hurting my arm. The photo was of three of the plants lined up next to each other. I think these are pictures were the best ones I took.
These pictures were taken in front of my house. I have this really small plant in the grass that I don't know where it came from. Honestly, It is probably one of the oddest things I have ever seen when it comes to nature. I had to bring my camera all the way up close to it so there was nothing else in the photo. It was sort of weird because I had to lay down on the grass and take the photo. Thankfully I was in the clear, and no one walked by, and no cars came for about two minutes. I managed to get some pretty good photos as well. The feeling I am trying to show is how you feel when it is really hot outside. This is because that is exactly how I felt when I took these pictures.

Moss on a Tree

I took these photos at this large field with only a couple trees. There was one tree that was much larger than the others in the field. I personally think that it was one of the biggest trees I ever saw. I really didn't have any major problems while taking the photo but there were some minor ones. The amount of sunlight was kind of an issue because the tree kept having a massive shadow straight on it every couple seconds. My other problem was that there were other branches completely in the way, so I had to almost claw my way through. The feeling I am trying to show is a very peaceful one because trees give you life, so I am trying to portray that.
I took these photos in a forrest near my house. Honestly, there was nothing really breath taking in the forrest excepts for this really long branch coming off a tree. The sun was out when I took the photos so that made the whole process of taking them a lot easier. My problem was that it was windy that day, so I had to wait for the wind to not be really hard. Otherwise the branch would just start flailing all over the place. I was able to get pretty good picture even with some wind there. These pictures are supposed to make you feel like you are one with nature.
