"Golden Hour" Recently, a song, made this phase a bit more popular than in the past. The actual term, "Golden Hour" refers to the time immediately after a traumatic event. This this the vital time to ensure treatment so that the patient has the greatest chance of survival. Boldness and beauty truly stand out here. Abbi, 9, U.S.A.

Cardinal Red. During the summer, it is the hummingbirds that grace the southern US. In the spring, the blue bird (Robin) arrives. The birds and color for winter is red. Whether it is rumored to be a loved ones spirt allowing us to know that they are close, or the signal of the cold season looming, it is finally that time when we are blessed with its song. Abbi, 9, U.S.A.

Green :) The color itself, represents healing power and is understood to be the most restful and relaxing color for the human eye to view. Green can help enhance vision, stability and endurance. When the eyes are green, a true rarity occurs. Only 2% of the population is blessed to have this eye color. Magnificent, mysterious, and wonderful. Green. Abbi, 9, U.S.A.

Cardinal of Red Royal - It's been said, "When cardinals are here, angels are near". Most can agree that when they see the bright flash of red, or hear the sweet song of the cardinal, they feel more at peace. Happy Christmas. Abbi,9, USA

Snowflake Gaze- As winter begins, and snow begins to loom, all hearts are waiting for the first snow. Sledding, and mittens. Ice rinks and earmuffs. The snow pulls us all into the wonder of winter, yet again. Abbi, 9, USA

Independence - Abbi, 9, USA. "May we think of freedom not as the right to do what we want, but as the opportunity to do what is right." -Unknown-

Little Lashes of Focus- Often times the best focus comes through frustration and determination. Leaning into the details and subtleties of this composition, allowed the focus to stay simple and bold. Abbi, 9, U.S.A.

Dainty-ish. Emmy, 6, USA. When the picture and the title say it all, there isn't much to caption. When all that is tomboy meets dress and the outcome is caught on camera.

Helianthus- As the soul always turns to peace and serenity, as does the sunflower to the sun. Bright, vibrant, and radiant, the sunflower is so commonly looked upon as a symbol of hope and happiness. Abbi, 9, U.S.A.

Foraging fun- In most geographical areas there are some plants, vegetables, and fruits that grow natually to the region and are also great places to find supplies and food for your home. This trip was just for fun and color. Abbi, 9, U.S.A.

Creative Control- Balancing, for an artist, between what you feel the audience wants, what is a great composition, and what feels good to you, your anxiety could keep the project from completion. When the power is yours however, and the art makes your soul happy, that's all that matters. Nicole, 16,U.S.A.
