Every time that I have to get up to go to school, I always get up early enough to see the sunrise in the morning and I always have my camera ready to take pictures of it.

A vibrant green vine, blurred in the mid ground, snakes its way into the frame from the right. A delicate purple-pink flower, with some fuzzy yellow in the center. A wasp, is the focal point, sharply in focus, rest on the flowers add a touch of tension to the scene.

Me and my Mom planted some flowers in the backyard and every time they need to be watered, I turn on the mist feature of the hose which creates the droplets on the flowers and thought that it would make for a nice macro photo.

Arizona is home to these adorable honeybees that are essential to keeping our flora blooming and thriving. It's important to remember how crucial these small creatures are to preserving the beauty of Arizona's natural landscape as we find new ways to preserve their species. My little sister and I found this cute worker bee one evening. I felt that nothing represented Arizona's natural beauty better than these hardworking creatures responsible for its stunning landscape.

While I was walking around a desert trail, I came across this flower in a dark bush. I really like the contrast so I photographed it.

I was out walking in the desert when a patch of bright yellow flowers shone through the brown of the brush. I went off the trail a bit, and grabbed this photo of the ray of sunshine in the desert.
