IMAGINATION AND CREATIVITY This book encourages all people to keep their mind active and creative. This book features the visual art from the outdoors of Massachusetts. A book about the faces and images in New Hampshire has been completed. Who knows, there could be faces and images all over the world just waiting to be discovered. This Visual Art- based book is designed to raise awareness about subtle images in our environment particularly with nature. The more common image is the human face that can be depicted in the clouds, on rocks or trees, and even in water, to name a few. Additionally, images may be recognized as animals or other objects. These images can be captured on still or video camera and later scrutinized and properly identified. Finally, this first book about faces and images is just the beginning of much more that will come in the way of imagination and creativity. The desired goal of this book is to inspire and stimulate the spirit of imagination and creativity that exists in everyone. Imagination is in the mind and creativity is in the mind's eye. This book is particularly special because it encourages investigation to discover the images that nature affords us in the natural formation of nature's beauty. We witness images in the clouds, smoke, fire, trees, leaves, water, soil and sand, to name a few. Eventually, those images transform, fade and gradually go away. However, the rock, which is the focus of this book, beholds images that are longer lasting. In this book, there are 100 images, mostly human faces. Keep in mind that these images were captured through my eyes. Some you will see right away, while for others, it might take a longer stare. To your surprise, you might even catch what I missed. So have fun, as I did.
