Nature, and the rainforests in particular, have more to offer us
than just biodiversity and ecosystems. Over hundreds of thousands of
years, nature has formed many great masterpieces.
Through its various colors, textures and shapes, nature gives us many gifts. We need only take time out of our busy lives to enjoy these gifts. Just like the great masterpieces created by mankind, nature’s masterpieces have a purpose—a message for our souls. We only have to be in nature and sense nature at the right time and place to see the purpose behind nature’s works of art: Nature’s Gift to the Soul.
Through
his photography, J. Miguel Morales, a self-trained photographer, offers a special artistic
view of nature. Having grown up on a farm in the mountains of Costa
Rica, surrounded by the remarkable beauty and variety nature has to offer,
he has often been at the right time and place to see and understand the purpose
behind nature’s gifts. Nature has often touched his heart and
soul in special ways. Over the past 20 years he has captured nature’s
works of art on film and has brought many special gifts out of the rainforest
to share with others. Miguel currently lives with
his family on a farm in the mountains near Cartago,
Karen Herzog grew up on a farm on an Indian reservation in South Dakota. There she developed a great love and appreciation
for nature and wildlife. During her travels to

Mankind is the most influential force on earth. Our
influences have been positive but also negative at times. Many of nature’s
masterpieces have become endangered due to man’s negative actions.
It is now our responsibility to become more sensitive to nature and to help
perpetuate nature and the Gifts it offers us.
We need first to become aware of what nature and the rainforests have to offer us. Once we gain this awareness, we can then learn to appreciate nature’s masterpieces. Only then will we see and understand the importance of protecting these gifts.
Much beauty, many masterpieces, can be discovered in the darkness of the rainforests. We hope our special photographs, Nature’s Gifts, will help make all who view them more aware of what has become endangered.

“I see the tropical
rainforest as the highest expression of the creative movement on this
planet.” “Our role in the universe to give it higher value
is to appreciate it, see its beauties and try to interpret them, and
to be compassionate to other living things around us. This raises
our universe to a much higher level on this particular planet.”
--Alexander Skutch—from “A Naturalist in the Rainforest” |
