Hopeful Rainbow Kitty
Zara Turgesen

Nature Is Out There
James Reed

Artist Statement: I am hopeful because there is nature. This photograph reminds me that nature is out there. I know there are good things in life and bad things in life. This makes me feel hopeful because nature makes me feel hopeful. I zoomed in on this butterfly when it was very still and there was no wind and I took a picture of it.
