The Seasons Observed is a photographic portrait of the natural landscape, documented in such diverse settings as Aspen, the Hudson River and its environs, California, Florida, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Bali, Indonesia, South America, and that perennial pleasure spot, Italy. Turning her camera away from people and signs of cultural life, Evelyn Lauder has taken careful aim to celebrate nature season by season. A grove of birch trees whose trunks cast long, lean shadows in the grass, a swarm of golden leaves buzzing in the fall sunlight, an eddy of water cutting through a snowcovered bank are among the seventy-six color photographs in this quietly moving, spiritual book.
