« Il saute du lit de bon matin, et ne part que si son esprit est net, son cœur pur, son cœur léger comme un vêtement d’été. Il n’emporte point de provisions. Il boira l’air frais en route et reniflera les odeurs salubres. Il laisse ses armes à la maison et se contente d’ouvrir les yeux. Les yeux servent de filets où les images s’emprisonnement d’elles-même. » — Jules Renard, Histoires Naturelles

A charming little book made for nature lovers!
Hey, that's me :)

Things you can find in this book :
- animals and bugs
- plants
- trees
- people who has something to do with animals

It's just a beautiful experience to see the life of animals, big or small from a closer look.

Writing about the animals you've seen and drawing pictures of them is very chill

Translating these here as an exercise, and because I kinda like my translations better than Parmée's NYRB ones.
