This delightful book takes the reader through a year of nature as we share the author's intimate view of the flora and fauna in her back yard in North Carolina; taking each month at a time, we are shown some of the animals, birds and flowers we might expect to see. Drawing from a lifetime of experience, this book will inspire and educate as well as charm and entertain. More than one hundred and thirty original, color photos bring to life a back yard that has been carefully nurtured over the years to create a haven for wildlife and the author shares some of the ways that she has been successful in improving her backyard environment. The many images are accompanied by short descriptions, poems or quotes, making this book one you will want to dip into time and again. Annette Meredith is an avid nature enthusiast and photographer who also writes nature books for children.
