*THE STUNNING COMPANION TO REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK THE COMFORT OF CROWS*
A beautifully illustrated journal to guide your observations of nature wherever you find it--in gardens and yards, city parks and vacant lots, or the sky--enhanced by inspiring prompts and the wisdom of beloved and bestselling author Margaret Renkl.
In The Comfort of Crows, Renkl's account of a year in her Nashville backyard, readers encountered birds and wildflowers, foxes and stately oaks, and all the surprises and joys to be found if only we pay attention to the world around us. This journal will help you engage--closely and thoughtfully--with nearby nature. Renkl illuminates the turning days, weeks, and seasons, and offers prompts to help you chronicle and care for the rich life surrounding you: What do the bare branches of winter allow you to see? How does summer's abundance provide for different wild animals--and can you find the abundance in your own life? What changes have you noticed in the natural habitats near you, not just from month to month, but from year to year?
