My book, THE QUARRY FOX AND OTHER CRITTERS OF THE WILD CATSKILLS, pubbed by Golden Notebook Press, illustrated by Will Lytle, a GOLD MEDAL IPPY AWARD winner!

[Leslie T. Sharpe @CatskillCritter]

Thrilled to see Will Lytle’s amazing new color cover for The Quarry Fox on Woodstock’s Golden Notebook Bookstore. Will’s new black and white interior illustrations are just as stunning. So many thanks to the Golden Notebook Press for bringing new life to our Catskill critters.

Glorious day in the #GreatWesternCatskills. Heading down the mountain path. Multflora rose, its white blossoms so fragrant if very invasive, still blooming . . .

Honored to be reading with Mellow the Barred Owl! “Whooo-cooks-for-yoooou!” Gotta love our #Catskills.

[Leslie T. Sharpe @CatskillCritter]

@NatureScoopOhio He is VERY spoiled! Has two pals that also come. The red squirrels complain, the grays too, but I love ❤️ my chippies.

[Leslie T. Sharpe @CatskillCritter]

Best bud little Chips, keeping me company on the deck, comes every evening for his dinner of black oil sunflower seed. ❤️ 🐿️ ❤️

[Leslie T. Sharpe @CatskillCritter]

@NatureScoopOhio Wish you could be with us! ❤️

Not a Knick fan but old enough to remember the original, and how iconic it became. So I have to admit, this is really cool.

@lolkaufman Minus the thorns and how invasive it is. But gor this one week, all is forgiven. ❤️

[Leslie T. Sharpe @CatskillCritter]

For one week in June, the thorny wild rose, so invasive, blooms with delicate flowers that are so fragrant. I awoke this morning, my bedroom filled with this sweet scent. So many rose bushes, the mountain looks like it’s snowed . . . ❤️

[Leslie T. Sharpe @CatskillCritter]

@1lolamarina That’s perfect too! ❤️

[Leslie T. Sharpe @CatskillCritter]

Here she is, Snappy the snapping turtle or one of her sisters, making her annual trek to lay her eggs. She’s slow but her jaws are lightning fast and strong. Do not pet this beautiful baby! 🐢

[Leslie T. Sharpe @CatskillCritter]

@1lolamarina Not too original, Snappy. But it fits. 😝

[Leslie T. Sharpe @CatskillCritter]

Oh dat sky, thunder rumbling, storm rolling in, in the #GreatWesternCatskills . . .

[myles brown @mdotbrown]

This is the only angle that does that miracle justice.

This evening at the pond. The peepers 🐸 are still peeping in the #GreatWesternCatskills.
