Day 259: I've known for over a year that Mark Turner, author of my favourite wildflower field guide, was going to be putting out a book on trees. As soon as it became available for pre-order, I put in my bid. I'm the first to admit that my knowledge of trees and shrubs is weak, but it seemed that there was no hope of expanding it without a personal tutor. I was hoping that Mark's release would be as logically and intuitively organized as "Wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest," and as complete. The book arrived today, and he didn't disappoint me. Now if I could just convince him to put out one on area lichens, I wouldn't have to carry Brodo around in a wheelbarrow!
