Features a selection of the author's journal pages. This book uses a combination of impressionistic watercolours with pen and pencil drawings, along with the written word, to invite readers to share in the pleasure of nature watching, and to experience the joy of seeing and connecting with nature wherever they live, amidst the whirl of daily life.



Whether it’s a bird hopping along the sidewalk, water droplets glistening on a tree, or the color of the sky outside your kitchen window, Clare Walker Leslie encourages us to notice and appreciate the splendors of nature. Drawn to Nature comprises excerpts from 25 years of Leslie’s journals devoted to observing and recording the natural world in words, field sketches, and impressionistic watercolors. Delightfully amusing and deeply passionate by turns, this compilation will inspire you to connect with nature, wherever you live.
