<bold> homemadewanderlust <bold> I've found in life
that the only thing I can control with
certainty is my attitude. I cussed the frost
on my tent and the frigid morning. Then, I
pulled out my macro lens and said..."oooo, pretty!"

Visual Text

The artifact is a macrophotography shot of a wilted gray flower covered in frost. The petals are in crisp resolution, but the center of the flower is gradually blurred. The rest of the photo in the background is also blurred out to increase focus on the frosted plant.
