- Seize The Moment -


                                            in vibrant colors
                                    shades of green on a hillside -
                                        where wildflowers grow
                                                      ~
                                            a glass of red wine
                                       hot tub and barrel sauna -
                                           summer enjoyment
                                     in the wind the bubbles float
                                     the effect impacts your mood
