Description
Spring, summer, autumn, winter: the natural world tells the same familiar story year in, year out. But how well do we really understand the seasons?
The sun, moon, stars, plants, fungi, animals, water and weather all reflect seasonal changes back to us. We all notice the flowers of spring, the longer days of summer and the colours of autumn. But there’s so much more. Spring is the time of meteor showers, unique cloud shapes and secret woodland sounds. Summer is a time of sky shadows, strange silences and one-off colours. Autumn is laced with curious animal behaviour and warm water phenomena. And in winter we expect ice – but can we read the clues it holds?
The Hidden Seasons will inspire readers to go outdoors to see these signs for themselves, gifting them so many rich insights into our turning year. The seasons will never look the same again.
