Before I started photography, I was usually only concerned with getting to the destination of my hike and not thinking about the journey of getting there.  After I got to Diamond Lake, I hiked around a bit and headed back to the car.  Along the way I noticed wildflowers in the fields where I was hiking out from.  I got down low and took one of my first pictures of wildflowers.  I loved getting up close and seeing the magnitude of difference between the wildflowers in the foreground and trees and mountains of the background.  This is one of the experiences that opened my eyes to the possibilities of photography and capturing different elements of nature.
