Soul of the Outdoors

<p>It takes years to learn the art of seeing of expecting to see nature's gifts. In <em>Soul of the Outdoors</em> 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 <em>Soul of the Outdoors</em> treks along the trails of one's outdoor adventures and ultimately the trails of our lives.</p>
