“Mother nature produces an encore performance daily.”
— michael thomas impellizzeri

My nature photography is a celebration of the natural world. It has taught me to see nature as a classroom to the world that nurtures me to see, feel, experience, imagine and explore. I see the road to riches as a footpath in the woods or a trail on a mountainside. Nature is a life raft of relaxation and a sanctuary of surprise, discovery and recovery.

Nature is a pharmacy—medicine for the soul. It is a place to wander and a place to wonder. It is a supermarket where one chooses from among its many offerings. Nature’s language is beauty. What first appears, as chaos, is actually an orderly ever–changing stage throughout the year.

Nature is a teacher of wisdom. It beams lessons to us. I am a student in nature’s outdoor classroom. The natural world provides food for thought as well as for the soul.
