Nature

• Chp 1. 


  "there is an ash pile made by many fires; the limb is worn smooth by men who have sat on it."
• Chp 1.


  "path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches to swim in the deep pool, and beaten hard by tramps"
• Chp 1. 


  "golden foothill slopes"

  "hillside bank and runs deep and green"
• "Although there was evening brightness showing through the windows of the bunk house, inside it was dusk."
• "the beak swallowed the little snake while its tail waved frantically."
• "The rabbits hurried noiselessly for cover. A stilted heron labored up into the air and pounded down river"
• "As quickly as it had come, the wind died, and the clearing was quiet again"
