زائر در تینکر کریک

An exhilarating meditation on nature and its seasons—a personal narrative highlighting one years exploration on foot in the authors own neighborhood in Tinker Creek, Virginia. In the summer, Dillard stalks muskrats in the creek and contemplates wave mechanics in the fall she watches a monarch butterfly migration and dreams of Arctic caribou. She tries to con a coot she collects pond water and examines it under a microscope. She unties a snake skin, witnesses a flood, and plays King of the Meadow with a field of grasshoppers.
