Entry 10
Entry Description:
This drawing is a memory of me and my dad biking through Zion National Park in 2020. It was raining when a beautiful rainbow and sunlight suddenly appeared. We had also decided to take a hike through the Lower Emerald Pools and as we sat down for a short break in the canyon, a large rock broke off the side of the mountain and crashed down into the pool right in front of us, the sound was like thunder. This is a memory I will always remember with my family during the pandemic.

Entry Description:
We celebrate a harvest festival, like Thanksgiving, every year by mid of January. It’s to thank all the elements behind a successful harvest. I enjoy celebrating it whenever I visit my parents’ native place in south India. We were planning to go this year as well, but our plans changed due to the pandemic. I imagined how we could have celebrated if we were able to make it there. In this picture, I decorated the pot, cow and the place and also offered the sugarcane and Pongal (which means to boil, overflow) to the nature.
