This book is a collection of essays, accompanied by photographs, both of which the author utilizes to illustrate his observations about nature, living, and self-reliance. He describes his views and thoughts in a manner that is not only introspective and thought provoking, but often uses his words to paint a descriptive picture of his reflections, views, and feelings. The essays are light reading and provide you with a glimpse of the author's insightful perspective on the subject matter. This is a delightful little book for those times when you just want to escape the realities of everyday life.
