Walt Meade's close encounter with a rare Catskill coyote is only one of many intimate moments described by the author. Growing up on the edge of a small town or working on a rugged hillside farm, Walt felt a fascination for wild things not always shared by those who had to earn a living from the land.

He tells of the pure enjoyment of nature by the young boy, the demands of rural life when growing to manhood and the sheer delight in everything "wild" in maturity.

With patience born of reverence, Walt sought out the private lives of the creatures who lived and struggled beyond- and sometimes within- his garden gate. His discovery of the magic of the camera made the challenge even greater- to capture through the lens the beautiful and fleeting, the rare and elusive life in the unnoticed corners of the untamed places around him.
