Somewhere is that special hideaway that puts us in close touch with the wild. When found, and if we are in the right mood, the roles between man and wildlife are reversed. The experience becomes the opposite of that offered by zoos, where we safely observe from behind a fence of glass. In this place we are surrounded by the grand variety of nature. We sense the myriad wild faces that have come to watch us. But there is no need to be alarmed. The wildlife at this backwoods cabin mean no harm. On this fresh morning, stroll down the steps from the hillside cabin. Sit by the lake, quiet and watchful. One of nature’s wonders, a trio of wood ducks, glide to a landing just across the inlet.”
