I have not always appreciated nature. By all means, nature has always been close to me or vice versa and I have always been part of it. But have I appreciated it? It might be so that as it has been such a natural part of my life I have taken it for granted. As a photographer and as I grow older nature is really where I love to be. It is where beauty for real reigns and where I meet my soul and for the kids it has always been a huge playground. I hope that the woods and shores will be a memory of their safe childhood.
