Sugartree Falls 2 is a video that I created, based on photographs that I took of my twenty- acre tract in Wayne County, Tennessee, during the 2021 Holidays. It displays the beauty of the winter season that I discovered on my walk in the woods on my secluded property. My husband Bob and I plan to build a small cabin on our land to enjoy as a retreat from the harsh winters that we experience in Wheatland, Wyoming. We also plan to use this property as a "bug-out" location, if necessary. It reminds us of the unique places in America that we should cherish and protect.
