From Monika Maeckle: Using plain, understandable language, David M. Hillis paints accessible portraits of the land he’s spent a lifetime walking and exploring.
The collection is stitched together with personal experience from Hillis’s decades of ownership and management of a family ranch in Mason County, appropriately named the Double Helix.
Through his lens, we begin to see the connections between land, water, plant and animal life that might otherwise go unnoticed. As the author states in the foreword, “The more we understand and experience nature, the more of it we will appreciate, and the more we will seek to protect it for future generations to enjoy.”
As Hillis drives the visitor around in search of the cows, the visitor expresses pleasant surprise at the “great grass” he was seeing, as well as the fact that he didn’t see “a single cow pie.” He couldn’t resist asking Hillis: what was the secret to producing such robust pasture with very little visible cow dung?
