Pacific in My Soul: Reflections of a Coastal Nature Anne Chadwick

Pacific in My Soul celebrates the diverse character of North America's spectacular West Coast. From Mexico's Baja Peninsula to Alaska's Katmai Coast, this unique collection of photographs and essays offers an intimate view of the natural world. Splendid photos and stories relate personal encounters with endangered species, some on the way to recovery, while others might not survive another generation.

Anne Chadwick reveals a profound connection with the Pacific Coast, the feeling that the natural world is intertwined with the spirit. She provides a whale's-eye view of a calving lagoon, the beauty of kayaking under a full moon, and the perspective of a bald eagle looking down on a fleet of fin whales. Enjoy an encounter with brown bears nursing their cubs. Witness the birth of a harbor seal. Smell the spicy fragrance of wild azalea. Feel the magic of a sunrise as first light dances off the waves.

The longer one sits quietly, the more one sees, hears, and feels. Pacific in My Soul is a tribute that will inspire readers to let the ocean s shifting scenes and salt air wash away everyday tensions, allowing the rhythms of nature to calm their busy lives.
