Native Tennessean, Jim Barlow, invites you to come aside to experience the quiet beauty of God’s handiwork on the canvas of nature. Fleeting moments of glory in nature captured to share with you…these are Windows to Nature of Tennessee. Jim invites you to share the wonders of our great state of Tennessee and the world beyond. While the Cumberland Plateau and the Great Smoky Mountains are the backyard of his work, his vision carries him beyond to capture other great wonders of nature as well.

You will enjoy such tropical places as “Painted Dawn of Kauai”, “Rays of Splendor over Lanai”, as well as jewels of Caribbean delight where his travels have taken him with his family. From fiery sunsets, moonlit vistas, and cloud-carpeted valleys as seen from atop Mt. Leconte, to serene mountain streams and tumbling waterfalls; from the breathtaking beauty of a woodland floor carpeted with fragrant blooms, to the breath of a single fragile wildflower…these and more await you, hopefully inspiring you to come aside from your busy pace, drawn to your Creator, Who wants to get to know you…that you may “Be still, and know that He is God.” (Psalm 46:10).

Beckoning you to a simpler, less hurried time, I want to share my love for nature and the God Who made it as you experience glimpses of His Majesty through these windows to nature:

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim His handiwork!” (See Psalm 19:1-4 and Romans 1:19-20.) “Ask the animals, and they will teach you, and the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you. Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; and let the fish of the sea declare to you.” (Job 12:7-8.)
