Hi, my name is Cheryl. I live in NJ. I have been a photographer for quite a few years. I have published a few other books. I keep it simple and interesting changing moods, views and feelings. The pictures have their own language and speak clearly to you. The poetry is sad but inspirational. (As we all have sad times in life to deal with! we don't worry when we are happy ~ It's the sad times that are hard to get by!) I offer some light at the end of tunnels in some short stories ~ All with the intention to say "It's all good and OK" even in all that is bad, there is good and so many blessings! As far as I go... well, I have seen almost all of this world I could and I make time to see all the hidden treasures and blessings God left here for us. I make the best of my time near lakes and trails and with the wildlife. my first blessing ~ My Daughter, I thank God for. I thank God for My Family, Friends and animals and for the patience and love of photography and sharing His beauty.
