After keeping an eye on the haze of the Park Fire in California, a perfectly clear day finally arrived, and it was time for one last trip before school started.

Lena Lubinskas and her 9-year-old daughter, Mila, decided to take advantage and head to McCloud to see the three McCloud waterfalls.

“Two days before we went on the trip, I got my daughter a new cellphone,” Lena says. “She took this picture with her phone, and I was extremely surprised that having no photography experience and having a phone for only two days, she took such a perfect picture.

“I think she might have a photography talent that we just discovered.”
