A yearning to provide our children with the sweet memories of such childhoods past is one of forces that drives the quest for The Simple Good Life .
Many people come to our special mountain community for that reason.
Here our children are not afraid. They greet life and those around them with open, spontaneous joy and enthusiasm. As this series of photographs by Mary Ann Halpin illustrates, the children of Pine Mountain are connected to nature and to themselves. They remind us of simpler times and how we can restore a natural simplicity to our lives and keep it alive through our children and our children s children because what our children forget or have never known will be lost forever. The Children of Pine Mountain is a greeting card series created by world renown photographer Mary Ann Halpin.
