Download Sky Time in Gray's River: Living for Keeps in a Forgotten Place AudioBook Free

Much the way Donald Hall's Periods at Eagle Fish pond captured New Great britain, Sky Amount of time in Gray's River catches the essence of the rural Northwest. Although Rober Michael Pyle is a lepidopterist, and southwestern Washington is noteworthy for its insufficient butterflies, something about the village of Gray's River spoke to him on the visit thirty years ago. Since then he has lived in the village, which was one of the first to be established near to the mouth area of the Columbia River and which still feels only tenuously connected to the twenty-first century. Sky Time brings Gray's River to life by compressing those thirty years into twelve chapters, following lives of its people, wild birds, butterflies - and pet cats - month by month through the times of year. In showing how the village has evolved his life, Pyle illustrates how a special place can transform anyone lucky enough to find it and highlights what is being lost in an environment of accelerating speed, flexibility, and sameness. Above all, Sky Time tells us that you don't have to travel far to see something new every day - if you know how to look.
