This is the third book written by Mr. Ware, the others being “The Moods of Presque Isle” and “A Walk on the Park”.

Over the last few years, Gene, a financial consultant for over 45 years, has allowed his attention and mind wander into the area of writing. This coupled with his long history of nature photography has led to his authoring of this and his other books. Most of his writing centers on relating, through poetry and prose, how nature affects people and their lives. Presque Isle State Park is the center of most of his writing. The park is located five minutes from his home and its unique beauty and habitat draw more than Four million visitors a year. The park, an eight mile long sand peninsula jutting out into Lake Erie, is a place where solitude, reflection and beauty are allowed to blend with nature and bring nature into visitor’s lives. It is Gene’s hope that as you read each poem, you will be able to slow down, take a minute to reflect on the photography accompanying the words. He believes that if you experience nature, nature will open a new world for your enjoyment. One of Gene’s goals in writing his books is to get people outdoors exploring and enjoying nature themselves. Presque Isle State Park is handy for Gene, however no matter where you the reader live, somewhere nearby lays a natural adventure open for your exploration and enjoyment.

About the Author

Moods of Presque Isle By Eugene H. Ware In the early morning or late afternoon, you might find Gene outdoors waiting for the just right light. An avid photographer, he focuses on capturing the majestic beauty of nature. During the day, he’s equally focused on helping his clients plan for a secure financial future. Gene has been a financial consultant for over 40 years. Over the years his attention has also turned to writing poetry and prose. Most of his works center on Presque Isle State Park and its unique beauty. The park is located just five minutes from his home and attracts 3.8 million visitors a year. Gene currently serves as President of Presque Isle Partnership, a private/governmental partnership which supports the park. Presque Isle seems to be one of the places on earth that God paused to create something special. A place where man could stop and reflect on what is right about the world. A place to pause for a moment to drink in the beauty that nature has to offer. It is an enchanting place where colors seem brighter, air softer and where time moves slowly. A place where solitude and reflection are greater gifts than sun and sand. As you read each poem, you will be able to slow down, take a minute to reflect on the complementary photographs accompanying the words. The theme of the book is the beauty, quiet, and solitude offered by nature. The author believes that if you love nature, nature will open up a whole new world for your enjoyment. The book is an attempt to paint words and photography as one and create a “Mood” with nature for the reader.
