Some sneak peeks inside this
incredible volume will follow,
but honestly they pale in comparison
to the rich, luxe, and seductive pages.
Last night, my very busy husband
began skimming the lovely
By the Light of the Sea,
sighing and echoing precisely
what occurred to me

lusciously lovely
illutrations.
Yum.
Peace to you right where you are.
