Summary: Informative and beautiful
Review: In "A Journey in Time: Mendocino County Wildflowers" author and photographer Peter W. Stearns treats the reader to an absolutely beautiful photographic collection of Mendocino County, California wildflowers. Instead of the usual organization of flowers by color, Mr. Stearns has chosen to organize them by month in which they appear. This makes it an exceptional book for the hiker or explorer who wants to take a trip into the natural areas of the county and wants to know what flowers to look for and expect. Besides the detailed photographs of each of the flowers discussed, each new month is started with a landscape photograph or two representative of that month. The landscape pictures are absolutely stunning and really showcase Mr. Stearns' talent as a photographer. If you live in the Mendocino County area or plan a trip there and you enjoy nature you will enjoy the information in this book. Even if you don't plan to visit the area but enjoy flowers you will still like this book. It is a beautiful and recommended purchase.
