Papilionidae butterfly,  Kjell B. Sandved, Smithsonian Instituition.

I was drawn to the first butterfly because of its unique shape, eye-catching orange hue, and thick black stripes. I chose the second butterfly because I like its aqua green color and the contrast of the bright inner color and sharp black outer edges. I was also drawn to the idea of using these two images together in a project because the bright orange and aqua green contrast together nicely.

2. Sunflower

I chose this photo because the sunflower is my favorite flower. I love its bright yellow color and large size, and I think that sunflowers are a classic way to communicate a sunny, happy mood. 

3. Seashells

I chose seashells because I love the beach and because they make me think of summer. I like seashells because each has their own unique shape and color. I chose the first seashell because I like the off-white/tan color and ideal conch shell shape, and the second shell because I was drawn to its dark reddish brown hue and interesting texture. 

4. Strawberry

I chose a strawberry because it is my favorite fruit, whether served fresh by itself or mixed into a frozen drink, smoothie, or fruit salad. I also think strawberries are very visually appealing, with their bright red bodies contrasted by a fresh green stem. Strawberries are associated with spring and summer when they are at their peak growing season. 

5. Clouds

I chose this image because it is a fairly simple way to fill in space with a variety of color and shapes. I love looking at a blue sky with the sun peeking through white fluffy clouds.

1. Breakdancer

breakdancing requires a full range of motion and a large space to move around freely without a specific plan or choreography.

2. Olympic Runner: Shalane Flannagan

Distance runners who compete at such a high level require hours of training per day and very few breaks throughout the year. They must constantly pay attention to their diet, sleep well, and do everything they can to stay healthy and avoid injuries, which they are extremely prone to when putting such high stress on the body.

3. Swinging in Summertime

The silhouettes of these two girls swinging high with the sun setting in the background represent youth, beauty, and the carefree attitude of summer time.

4. Pole Vault

Professional pole vaulters must be very flexible yet also have a lot of muscle mass. They have no fear of heights or fear of falling, even though they fall many times during practice and risk a lot of energy. When done correctly, pole vaulters can make the task of vaulting themselves several feet into the air seem effortless and graceful.

5. Baseball

Baseball players require a different type of fitness than many other athletes; they more upper body strength, yet they also need the speed to round the bases quickly and very quick reflexes. In this picture, 2011 World Series MVP David Freese celebrates while running around the bases after hitting the game-winning home run of World Series Game 6.
