Today was Madison Reads Leopold, an event at the Arboretum where a large variety of people read essays from A Sand County Almanac for a live audience. I have some nice images of people reading, but during a lunch break we went out for a walk on the trails and watched snow melting before our eyes. Out in Wingra Woods I found another scene where a robin was eaten. This pile of feathers was much more complete and I like that evidence of melting snow shows up in the photo. Leopold knew that people's hearts would be won over with a story, which is why the almanac part of the book (first 100 pages) is still so loved and being read out loud on an annual basis. This story is still unfolding every month of the year - we only have to spend some time outside to keep reading it.
