"I don't compose pictures, I find them in the colors, patterns, and
shadows of the trees in front of me. While I walk, I let my
feelings well up in my consciousness. My feelings guide me to find
what I'm seeing and feeling and distill it into a picture." A
beloved and popular Illinois institution, The Morton Arboretum
welcomes one million annual visitors to walk its trails and view
the 4,200 tree species on the grounds. Peter Vagt has photographed
the Arboretum for over twenty years. This collection showcases
eighty-five of his favorite works, each one in full color. Vagt's
close attention to place and time reflects both his profound
connection to the Arboretum and its preeminence as a sanctuary for
anyone in search of transcendence in nature. A celebration of The
Morton Arboretum in its centenary year, Light Through the Trees is
the perfect keepsake or gift for anyone who admires trees and
believes in their restorative power.
Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Jessica Redland and Kate Forster.
Do you believe in Christmas miracles? Holly is looking for a
change. There has to be more to life than the long hours she works
as an editor in New York City, despite what everyone says. What she
doesn't expect when she leaves the city behind is to meet Mitch, a
recluse who's hiding more than she realises. Mitch spends his days
hidden away in a little log cabin in Inglenook Falls, where he owns
a Christmas tree farm. He speaks to people only when necessary, so
when Holly falls into his life, he's not sure how to react. All he
knows is that something needs to change if he wants to get his life
back on track. Along with friends Cleo and Darcy, Holly is
determined to bring joy back to Mitch's life, but will he
appreciate their interference? And when a business proposition
throws everything up in the air, will it do more harm than good?
Curl up this festive season in a snow-covered log cabin surrounded
by Christmas trees and find out whether miracles and second chances
really do happen. *Please note this is a re-release of Christmas
Miracles at the Little Log Cabin, previously published by Helen J
Rolfe* Praise for Helen Rolfe's heartwarming stories: 'Beautiful,

species in the south to Appalachian Mountain remnants in the
panhandle. Florida Wild Flowers and Roadside Plants is a helpful
guide to identifying 500 species of Florida plant life, including
rare as well as common wild flowers and characteristic trees,
shrubs, vines, and ferns. Each description includes both common and
scientific names, a range map, symbols to show the season of bloom,
and a useful summary code of nine key plant, leaf, and flower
characters, to aid in identification. With rich color photographs
and brief, nontechnical notes to accompany each species, this
handbook is a valuable reference for tourists, residents, students,
and anyone interested in plants in all seasons of the year, from
Pensacola to the Keys.
