"Following theWater "is the intensely observed chronicle of Carroll's annual March-to-November wetlands immersion--from the joy of the first turtle sighting in March to the gorgeously described, vibrant trilling of tree frogs ("lichen with eyes") in late May to the ancient sense of love and loss Carroll experiences each autumn when it is time once again to part with open water.Illustrated with the author's fine pen-and-ink drawings, "Following theWater "is a gorgeous evocation of nature, an utterly unique "admission ticket to a secret corner of the world" (Bill McKibben).
