In the endless light of summer days, and the magical gloaming of
the wee small hours, nature in Jim's beloved Highlands, Perthshire
and Trossachs heartlands is burgeoning freely, as though there is
one long midsummer's eve, nothing reserved. For our flora and
fauna, for the very land itself, this is the time of extravagant
growth, flowering and the promise of fruit and the harvest to come.
But despite the abundance, as Jim Crumley attests, summer in the
Northlands is no Wordsworthian idyll. Climate chaos and its
attendant unpredictable weather brings high drama to the lives of
the animals and birds he observes. There is also a wild, elemental
beauty to the land, mountains, lochs, coasts and skies, a sense of
nature at its very apex during this, the most beautiful and lush of
seasons. Jim chronicles it all: the wonder, the tumult, the
spectacle of summer - and what is at stake as our seasons are
pushed beyond nature's limits.
