Perseverance
This picture was taken on my hike to the top of the Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park in Maine. It was a total eight-mile hike lasting over four hours with some friends in 20-degree weather, iced-up trails and chilly winds. Difficult journeys can be exhilarating when surrounded by people you love. It symbolizes the ability of humanity to persevere in adverse times like this pandemic and come through it stronger and better.
Sliver of warmth
Taken somewhere in Maine. This picture emphasizes how comforting and warm a little sun can be on cold, gloomy days. This is just like how far little acts of kindness and love can go.

Light within us
Taken in Acadia National Park in Maine. To me this picture makes me think about how powerful light within us (from the lighthouse in this case) is when the sun is setting, waves are crashing in and dark clouds are setting in.
