Soul of the Outdoors: Reflections - Dave Greschner

It takes years to learn the art of seeing, of expecting to see nature's gifts. In Soul of the Outdoors , Dave Greschner passes that art along. He tells how little that chickadee at the feeder weighs, how tree buds survive in winter, how far a fisher leaps, and what the six blobs of shadows are on the creek bed below a water strider. He traces the cycle of seasons, immersing us in spring hikes to the marshes of emerging frogs and returning birds, summer's coolness along the trout stream, a forgotten apple tree in autumn, and a full moon snowshoe hike in winter. With humor and heart, Soul of the Outdoors treks along the trails of one's outdoor adventures and, ultimately, the trails of our lives.
