I would like to talk about a photo of myself that I really enjoy looking at. This photo was taken about two years ago when I first arrived in Canada. It was taken at a meeting near a beautiful park close to my house. In this picture, I'm standing outside smiling, and the weather was sunny but a bit cold. I took this photo with my husband; he was the one who actually clicked this picture. At this time, we had just started our life in Canada.
