word pictures Writes Mr Herriot of his be loved Yorkshire looked out on landscape of untroubled peace The long moist furrows of the new tumed soil glittered under the pale February sun contrastin with the gold stubble fields an the grassy pastures where sheep clustered around their feeding troughs There was no wind and the smoke arose straight from the farm chimneys and the bare branches of the roadside trees were still as they stretched across the cold sky Russell describes this memo rable experience in his Rocky Mountain environment was crossing the foot of sheer lava intrusion and came to tiny waterfall sparkling and splashing like fountain in to perfect bowl carved out of the solid black lava To one side of it there was small grotto where bubble in the molten rock had broken This was partially screened by the frothy light green lace of the maidenhair ferns Behind them saw the glint of reflec tions from the falling water and when moved closer to look there was sudden flash of wings as bird flew out knelt to part the ferns and found the inside of the hole lined with quartz crystals glit tering like jewels Artfully built in this little cave was the nest of Townsends solitaire with four greenishblue eggs My camera was primitive and color film was still in the future so photographing it was impossible but the image still lives with me as one of the most exquisitely beautiful have
