Nature's Year: The Seasons of Cape Cod

"We see very little. I am told that the very sands we sit on are full of minute organisms. The visible life, perhaps in the form of a few beach fleas, represents an extremely small percentage of the life unseen, a condition which has its parallel in the soil. But a short walk or wade along the shore line can give you proof enough, without the need of a nip from a crab, that the tidal grounds are covered and circulating with life..." Here is a beautifully written portrait of the interaction of the land, the forest, the wild life and the people of Cape Cod andhow the movement and changes that occur in just one area serve to mirror much of the rest of the land.
