Nature at its best

I also enjoyed this essay from John Muir and I once again am amazed at how easily I can picture what he is talking about. You can tell he is fascinated with nature and by all parts of nature. I was surprised at how he seemed to be equally fascinated with the fly and the grasshopper as he was with the bear. He ends this essay with goodnight friends 3, referring to those animals he met. It is like he had made a connection with them as he met them. John Muir has a special talent to write in a way that can put a picture in someones head with many descriptive details.
