FEAR NOT....

I am reading a biography on Elizabeth I by Alison Weir.  A very well written book.  Elizabeth was a force to be reckoned with.

"Fear not, we are the nature of the lion, and cannot descend to the destruction of mice and such small beasts."

~Elizabeth I~

  3. That is a great painting that I haven't seen before. She was a powerful and fascinating queen. I read another book by that author, can't recall the title.
