Description: Love-moods in contemporary verse coupled with heart-felt photographs.  Shy-green glades, hidden water-falls, gold-laced oceans and silver-lined clouds.  Images of bold and thunderous breakers, chinese-fragile reeds and harbored boats at the end of the day.  A special gift for the one you love - as true as daisies and as intimate as two skaters on a frozen sunset.
