When I was a kid, my favourite book was “Granny’s Gang” by Katherine McKeever. It’s the story of Kay and Larry’s life with various injured or orphaned or recovering owls. (The titular “Granny” is a spectacled owl.)
There is no stop on the tour when you are out for a walk alone in the unmediated
woods. No guide raises a colourful umbrella to get your attention. There’s no
floating arrow directed at points of interest. No plaques. Just your own eyes
and whatever you pay attention to.
