Carol, would you consider sending along a copy for me to review for Write and Review? Walter Rhein and I try to focus on independently-published works with that pub. The book sounds lovely!

I've been traveling through States I've never been in for the past weeks, seeing birds and flora never before seen (I'm from west coast Canada), and far too many road-kill armadillo---they make me so sad.

So nature photography birthing words! Yes...

Kudos indeed--what a lot of labour. Huge congratulations.
