Original photo, no filter. Found this bright yellow flower hanging out by it's lonesome on the far west side of the city. I was out looking for a new beach spot for when the weather starts turning for the better. Figured it might be good to plan ahead so when the elements die down I can do activities like hiking, camping and swimming. The colors in the photo represent life and optimism, bright and bold, the flower symbolizes hope and a better a future than today. Often times enough I've been taking a walk lately with no beauty in sight really. I make due with the photo ops I'm presented with but that's about all I can do right now.
