I chose to take this photo because people consider their friends as family. Friends are considered family because of how there are there for you no matter what happens and will always be willing to help. When your household situation is not ideal and your friends are there to help, support and be there for you, that is true family.

With my mom's head in front of the sun, it's difficult to see her features, but it looks like the sun is her aura radiating from her head. This depicts that you should judge people by who they are, not how they look. Here she is represented by her “aura”.

This is a photo of a Bermuda Monarch caterpillar crawling around the stem of a tropical milkweed plant. Bermuda Monarchs weren't always here as they began to surface around their migration season to the South and stuck around. I chose this photo because although the Bermuda Monarch is not endemic to Bermuda they are still a huge part of the Bermudian ecosystem and they are truly beautiful. Milkweed can be found all around the island due to the work of many people such as my mother. However, in recent years bushes have grown and grass has been cut so please plant some milkweed!

The sky at dusk is often captivating in Bermuda. This photograph captured a mesmerising sunset over the ocean with variations of flaming colours in gold and orange. The reflections on the calm water creates a serene setting. The outline of the rocks and sailboat stands out against the background of the sky and the stillness of the water. Boating is a favourite pastime of Bermudians and to see this lone sailboat soaking in the glorious atmosphere made me want to transport myself there. The natural scenery reminds me of living in the moment and being carefree.

Gombey troops in Bermuda are like family. They are known to bring the community together in celebration. Their vibrance and energy flows to the crowds and radiates joyfulness. The focal point of this photograph is the Gombey striking a spirited pose with the support of drummers in the background. The special handmade costume, the dancing and the music has historical significance. This image was taken at Harbour Nights which is a street festival that showcases Bermuda's culture. To see everyone together having fun makes me smile.

I love that the moongate is a symbol of luck in Bermuda. I chose this vantage point to emphasise the architecture of the welcoming stairs and the round shape of the moongate. Locals say that the archway brings prosperity and joy to all who pass under it making a wish. The bright light in the distance shining upon the moongate and the little boy creates a silhouette. I hope that people who view this photograph wonder and explore the possibilities.

I chose this photo because it is a snapshot in time which is very significant to me. The photo displays the sunset I watch every morning; the sun which allows for all of Bermuda’s nature to thrive, surrounded by the silhouette of some of Bermuda’s endemic trees - the cedar and palm. If you inspect closer, you can see the man-made boats which vastly contrast the nature, but simultaneously coincide. To me, the rising sun is full of meaning as it represents a new beginning. Not only does the sun keep out nature alive, but keeps us going in life as dawn brings hope, brightness, and excitement.

This photo is something I took around a year ago. I remember having to take it from afar because the bird kept scaring me. It kept flying away and right over my head and landed right next to me each time I tried to take a picture up close. I find this picture to fit the Bermuda Nature theme as nature is commonly depicted as something we see almost every day. And though we see these birds all the time, we don't appreciate their majestic stature and beauty.

I choose this photo because I enjoy how the rain beaded off the flower and how it wasn't the main focus on the photo but still was still noticeable, It means you can focus on both the beauty of the flower and the water on top of it without taking away from the overall image. I think it represents the beauty of Bermuda by highlighting both the rain we get that allows the plants and growth to be the way it is
