Author Description

Janet's love of Nature and her personal process of self-examination come together in this heartening collection of nature photographs paired with poetic messages. The photographs illustrate the beauty of four seasons on and around the Crozet, Virginia, Greenways Connector Trail, in sight of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The short messages range over themes of recognizing the kinship between the Earth and ourselves, cultivating a larger sense of self, embracing differences, and finding ease and contentment in life. Taken together, Janet's messages evoke feelings of release, strength, worth and confidence. Her photos show the peace, beauty and grandeur of the Earth, qualities also natural to ourselves.
