Taken with my Huawei P20 Pro. This is a picture outside my daughter's school.   I didn't know that I love to take pictures until my images got rejected after I tried to upload them to an image sharing website. I know I'm just an amateur photographer. Well, I'm embarrassed even to call myself a photographer. I'm just someone who likes to snap beautiful scenery. I don't do selfies. I'm just not photogenic. I know now that there are cellphone cameras that will make you look pretty with their beauty shot mode but I still think I don't look good in pictures so I just snap pictures of scenery, flowers, buildings etc. I would like to share these pictures here since my pictures aren't up to the standard of some image sharing website. Instagram accepts all my pictures. So, you can find me on Instagram . Most of my photos can be found over at Instagram or over at this blog.
