In every walk with nature,

one receives far more than one seeks.

John Muir

For D.S., with token rhyme, suggesting rhythm.

Id like to thank my acquisitions editor,

J. Banks Smither, and Arcadia Publishing and

The History Press for their support of this project.

Lets journey through the alphabet
and see what we can see,
exploring nature as we take
a trip from A to Z!

Aa

Arbor

Welcome to the passageway

where you can take a peek

at all the friendly animals

playing hide-and-seek.

Bb

Bridge

An egret spreads his snow-white wings

to carry him away

while mother duck decides to bring

her babies out to play.

Cc

Capitol

Excited bunnies climb the stairs

and line up on the floor

because they want to be on time

to take a guided tour.

Dd

DoG Street

Theres always something happening

on Duke of Gloucester Street,

where dogs are waiting in the shade

for visitors to greet.

Ee

Espaliered Trees

Over in the orchard

where the flat espaliers grow,

an owl whooo perches on a wall

sees dinner down below.

Ff

Fifes and Drums

The field musicians march in time

and havent got a clue

about the unexpected guest

that makes them say P-U!

Gg

Graveyard

Inside the gloomy graveyard walls

of Bruton Parish Church,

sly black widows eye their prey

and gray wolf spiders lunch.

Hh

Horse-Drawn
Carriage

While horses give a carriage ride

one sunny afternoon,

the newlyweds who climb on board

enjoy their honeymoon.

Ii

Ice House

A doorway hidden in a hill

reveals a secret cave

where little lizards like to go

whenever they feel brave.

Jj

Jail

Its cold and dark inside the cell

where ghosts of pirates creep,

and young grasshoppers would be wise

to look before they leap.
