Sharing Scenery

By: Avril Shakira Villar Zamboanga City, Phillipines 🇵🇭

It’s crazy how my love for capturing nature has blossomed

I used to simply appreciate it with my own eyes

But now I bring my phone everywhere

Wanting to share the incredible sights I encounter with you

The majesty of trees, the ever-changing skies, the essence of nature itself

These offer something priceless: peace

The nature gave me the chance to share this tranquility with you

Fortunately, it’s all around in my city

If you’re nearby, I would lead you to the heart of the forest

Guide you along the scenic trails

And whisk you away from urban bustle to the serenity of the countryside

I want to show you that life is at its best with me

I’m prepared to offer you all that lies within my means

All you have to do is run away with me.
