But I have his first book on turtles, his book on trout, and his memoir. He's a really fine writer and naturalist, and pays attention to detail. Of course, he's also a fine painter, with and artist's eye for detail, so I guess that figures. I'm glad you mentioned his new book (and, apparently, the one before) because I want to get both. Don't know how I missed 'em, but I did.

He published a new book last year, "Following the Water: A Hydromancer's Notebook." You write so eloquently and lyrically about the natural world, as does Carroll, so I thought that I ought to bring him to your attention in case you aren't familiar with his work.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443352705506509732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-12481595764219662052010-02-15T00:58:14.017-05:002010-02-15T00:58:14.017-05:00Wow you captured some beautiful nature textures.

That has to be a scary experience if you've never driven on snow before.<br /><br />Wheee! I got to thinking I shouldn't have said most of what I did.

I've lived in this part of the country my entire life, and have never seen so much icy/snowy weather as we've had in the past month.<br /><br />Thanks so much for the wonderful comment on my blog about the social networking sites.

And it would, indeed, be a place which would make you very aware of the subtleties of texture and color—a beauty which demanded thought and process on the part of the beholder. I envy you that experience—and I would be willing to bet you've never again looked at anything in quite the same way. Time in such a place would have to change your perspective forever.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-69747699787624858722010-02-13T07:35:21.928-05:002010-02-13T07:35:21.928-05:00Bernie…

Snow colored and texturized by twilight, the division of water and ice when the river catches the final wash of setting sun…a strange, wonderful beauty to be discovered within that difference. <br /><br />You have a great Valentine's Day, too.

I will come clean here and admit that a few years ago I spent 2 winters in the Antarctic where these things had a tremendous effect on me.<br />It's great to find someone who knows how to pick out such gems and it is clear that many of us appreciate it.<br />Thanks.Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10367405984066895755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-65428474011382650292010-02-13T01:11:10.396-05:002010-02-13T01:11:10.396-05:00You are right, it looks like another planet....lov...You are right, it looks like another planet....love how you describe the end of the day and the beauty of the birds as they peck away at the feeders....<br />Happy Valentine's Day to you and your ladylove Grizz....Have a wonderfu weekend......:-) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-46288106999805127082010-02-12T22:21:24.860-05:002010-02-12T22:21:24.860-05:00Gail…
