Wild Flora of the Northeast

Rating:
Summary: Good words, bad pictures
Review: This book takes you season by season and beautifully describes the plants that you will see in the woods, meadows, and by the stream or pond. It made me want to get out and walk on my own land upstate and see these plants for myself. The down side to this book is despite the fact that New England and New York are beautiful in every season the photos in this book don't represent them well. The photos are in such soft focus (some out of focus)that I wouldn't recognise them in real life using the pictures. Sometimes an attempt to make a photo look artistic results in pictures that don't communicate.
