Slow, like building nests and collecting eiderdown. Portrait of unique nesting grounds on remote Norwegian islands & a determined older woman charged with caring for the ducks. Takes patience, both the reading and the waiting for the birds. 2024
110 “We do not think of watching the world around us as work.”
258 “The island and the wild things are never fully known… We are all just children. We never know enough, not even the half of it.”


#naturallitsy “I am Red Fox - how do you see me?” reminding me of The Frozen River which I listened to in December and how the red fox warned Martha ( and Martha was prepared to keep the red fox safe from hunters/poachers)

“So let these spells ring far and wide; speak their words and seek their art, let the wild world into your eyes, your voice, your heart.”
Beginning the new year with this beauty. #NaturaLitsy

I finished my final read of the year with the last pages of this delightful book. I‘ve thoroughly enjoyed reading all the anecdotes full of fascinating information about trees in small sections over the course of the entire year.

I‘ll close out my 2025 reading with this final book. I admit that I was not great about reading it daily & would have to catch up sometimes, but I quite enjoyed this daily look at trees. Beautiful photos & great writing & a blend of nature, science, history & folklore.
On to my transition book & 2026 reading. 🎊

“Your kind never sees us whole.You miss the half of
it and more. There‘s always as much belowground
as above…If you mind were only a slightly greener
thing, we‘d drown you in meaning”(362).
