Echoes Of Nature

      Every picture is a tale of the Earth's various ecosystems, with all the heavy forests, steep mountains, and even the minor plants and animals that there are. Through these images, I long to encourage a bond with the environment, and raise awareness of the need to protect nature and the conservation of natural resources.

It feels like yesterday I was just struggling to create my blog account. A lot of things happened but I'm glad I survived all those challenges. This quarter taught me new things and skills, and I discovered a lot of interesting things in the past in the field of Information and Communication Technology. It was exciting to see a simple HTML tag turn into something creative on my screen. Finding out how these tags make a webpage became my big achievement. At the start, i was having a hard time remembering the tags and wasn't sure how to use them.
