Book excerpt: Photographer Jeff Richter is a long-practiced observer of nature who sees through the lens of his camera and brings both immense technical skills and an abiding love of the northwoods to his work. As a result, Seasons of the North is an all-encompassing journal. Richter's photographs reveal the audacious declarations of wild cherry blossoms in late spring, the solitary, purposeful stalking of the gray wolf, the brooding, cloud-choked aftermath of a summer storm, the frenzied festival of fall foliage, and the austere decorations of snow and ice in winter.This collection of photographs, Richter's first in book form, is a testament to one man's patience, appreciation, and reverence--and his ability to convey the beauty of each season to those who share his appreciation.Noted Wisconsin naturalist writers have contributed essays on the seasons: John Bates on the agonies and ecstacies of northern spring "If Fish Could Sing"; Justin Isherwood on the irresistable lure of water in summer "A Canoe-Shaped Soul"; Chad McGrath on the sensuous delights of fall "The Siren's Song"; and Terry Daulton on winter's stark beauty "Just Beyond the Doorstep".
