About Us
Our Mission
Just ordinary people with a deep connection to the outdoors, we have a passion to help others connect to nature by sharing treasures from our Appalachian mountain home and some of our other favorite places.
It is our hope that through sharing images, experiences, and stories about life in the natural world around us, we might also light a fire in others to develop an interest that could lead to a life-long treasure hunt.
As you take a walk on the gently wild side with us, you might even want to take home a treasure of your own from one of our collections of photos, objects and wearables created from or inspired by the wonders of nature around us.
Enjoy the journey.
Ron Twentey
“As the result of a long career focused on details, I am intensely aware of my surroundings. Always an observer, I believe there’s no better way to refocus priorities than spending time in the woods, studying and capturing the life of the forest. For years we talked about sharing our passion for the natural world through stories, photos, and other creations, but until recently we never had the time to do anything about it.” See how Ron interprets his natural surroundings through photography and crafts.

Trish Twentey
“Life has a way of presenting opportunities, but it’s up to us to recognize and act upon them. After many years in big business, where time away from work was rare and I was never totally disconnected from the job, it was time for a reboot. Since snapping photos has always been a way to slow down and focus on the moment, and learning something new a welcomed challenge, the path forward became clear.” See how Trish expresses what she sees in nature through her handcrafted jewelry creations.
