Hidden Treasures

Did you know that you can find happiness and healing through nature? See, life can sometimes bring many challenges, but if we look around at the rivers flowing, the trees stretching their branches, the flowers blooming, the birds flying in the sky, and the mountains reaching their highest peaks, we can find that needed hope to overcome life's obstacles.

The purpose of this book is to share with you my journey of happiness and healing, using photos while providing my perspective of the places I have visited. Most of the images, captured in nature here, are from locations in South Carolina. You may also spot some that were taken in neighboring North Carolina and Georgia. For some, you might say this is "right in your backyard". This project began as a hobby but turned into an adventure for me. It also became my means of learning what other people perceive from nature.

Although I genuinely enjoy hiking for exercise, I am always excited by the prospect of discovering the natural, and sometimes hidden places provided in nature. This has been an activity that I have been able to share with my family and friends. Each journey has been fun, some I might even call thrilling, which everyone might enjoy.

I hope that this book provides you with the healing and happiness to provide you "hope" to continue your life's journey.
