The shadows are long and the glen is silent and dim. The heavy gray skies of January are gone, leaving patches of blue in the clouds. There is a whisper of wind through the trees. it is morning, it is early spring. it is time to awaken after the long, cold winter...
So begins this book which captures, in lyric prose and beautiful paintings, the sights and sounds, the smell and feel of a secluded valley in Connecticut. Slowly, as we explore Redding Glen through the changing seasons, the hidden life in its depth unfolds. A chorus of spring peeper's celebrates the renewal of of life in the glen; a fawn drinks from a pool formed by melted snow. The days grow warmer. Birds of every color and size arrive, bringing new songs. Suddenly the glen is vibrantly alive.
This delightful ecological portrait is the first in a planned series by Mr. Polseno on wildlife sites. It also marks the debut of a writer of unmistakable talent.
