Summary: The Great Smoky Mountains

Decent Essays
Thank you for sharing your ideas. It was a great review of the video. I also completely agree with you and Dewitt Jones. Our creativity is connected to our passion in our everyday life, and our perspective is the lens of our camera for finding something extraordinary. We have to have a perspective to see a problem as an opportunity rather than a negative experience.

A small waterfall at Smoky Mountains. It looks so beautiful when we see it outside. When I walked inside of the waterfall, I couldn’t feel its beauty. It was just falling water and bothered me with a splash of water. My current worries and troubles might become a beautiful part of my life when I look back this moment after ten years.

    The waterfall wasn’t as big as Yosemite Falls but watching the little droplets fall and the light hitting it at just the right angle, and watching all the different woodland species prance about, going along with their day, without a care in the world, made it look and feel like it was a paradise from a movie.

Every time there is a possibility for us going to Mount Shastina I am filled with joy and nostalgia longing to recreate more…

    The only thing to do was to not look down at the 1,000 feet below me at the winding river. We finally stopped at a small crack in the wall.

Being in nature gives me a sense of wonder and an irreplaceable magical feeling. The outdoors are a safe haven away from the craziness of life, they are able to surround and soothe, as well as…

    Dewitt Jones’s video is very inspirational; it makes me want to tap into my creativity more.

As I have grown older, I have learned that all of us possess creativity, we just have to be willing to go the extra mile in order to access it.…
