In My Free Time: Mission Photo!

Well the first month of morning Spanish classes are over. And since this month I'm not taking a morning class, I have TONS of free time on my hands.  Yesterday I was pondering all the possibilities with which I can spent my time. A new photo project then occurred to me! 
I have decided to look deeper into the culture of Costa Rica by exploring the vast amounts of life that grows here.  While on a run the other day, I noticed several times the occurrence of plants reaching out from between fence posts or growing between the concrete. Amongst places where nature doesn't necessarily have a place, life persists. It is a pretty generic project, but every photography student should have some of those, right? It helps on your specific journey in photography and in life.  As I thought more about this project, I couldn't help but relate. Even in the most ugly of places, beauty is present. I have decided this project symbolizes the beauty in the little things, in every single person, and in places where beauty is unexpected. 
So far, I have started my project with the tiny fern plant growing along side my house. It is the anchor photo in this series, since it inspired the first thought.
