Teale Time

Finally! I had come to Trail Wood, the home of Pulitzer Prize winning nature writer, Edwin Way Teale. The four of us Canadians walked a few of the trails there on a sunny July day this summer of 2007.I had fallen in love with Teale’s nature log, A Walk Through The Year. In almost twenty years of writing a weekly nature column for the Niagara Falls Review I had quoted Teale’s works many times. Since our trip to Trail Wood in Connecticut I purchased three more of his works. I now have five sitting on my desk. The book, A Walk Through the Year, has a map of the area and many great photos by Teale. Check your library. It’s worth reading.
