pickThis is an abridged version of the original book, with beautiful forest photography from around the world. The writing isn‘t the best, possibly a combo of the translation from German and the abridgment. But for me still interesting and worth reading to absorb the nature pics. Still lots of good info! I may pick up the full book at some point. 🌲🌳🌿💚
A small #bookhaul from my local bookshop‘s 6 years in business yesterday. I told myself I could buy one book & I kept picking this one up, plus it was 30% off. It‘s about stories of “generosity” in nature & interactions that benefit the natural world. It‘s a gorgeous book & looks fascinating. I also got their tote because…it‘s grey 🩶 & a shaka 🤙🏼😊sticker.

A beautifully written soliloquy on the miracles that are hummingbirds. This short book is taken from a longer book "Birdology" which is currently enroute to me? The author assists her friend who rescues 2 baby hummingbirds. The stats she lists about them surely makes them a miracle.

Thank you so much @jenniferw88 for my lovely gifts. I adore Angela Harding's artwork, so thanks for the calendar. It's already in my journal. Ireally wanted a copy of The return to the light. The tree books are perfect. Nothing finer in this world than 🌳🌳 & 🦊🦊🦊
Harper @CoffeeNBooks ! This is a perfect housewarming gift, thank you so much! I love it. I often realize forgotten something I need to do before bed while I‘m laying there reading, and the triangle owl book support is the perfect place to rest my book for a moment while I do the things. 😁
I look forward to reading the beautiful book as well. 🦋🐛🌱💚
“The snow falls slowly in soft, descending clusters like fairy snowballs. It falls slowly, almost thoughtfully, and far apart…The snow clings where it falls, lovingly and coldly to barren twigs, pure as wool blankets over the dead grass. The wild raspberry wires become tunnels of silver whiteness, the browning pine trees become white trees, and the grapevines are a still, white fountain of flowers.”
pickGorgeously illustrated abridged version of the author's work on trees and forests. The prose seemed a bit clunky in places with abrupt transitions and unclear references but I'm not sure whether this was due to the author, the translator, or the abridgement. Even so, the main points on the complex life of forests as communities of trees come across.
