Inspired by the moving beauty of the beach and the sea, George Thatcher once again shares the quiet splendor of his daily walks on the beach. As with his column of the same name, and his first book, "Beach Walks, Thatcher provides witness to the incredible life and beauty found on tranquil shores. Faithfully recording what he sees and feels, Thatcher provides moments of serene reflection and poignant loveliness that continue in the mind even when the moment itself--like the tides and the birds he lovingly relates--are gone. His brief accounts allow us to see everyday miracles and to experience the peace and pleasure they bring time and time again.
