Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Janet Blenkinship and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "My Studio Neighbors" by William Hamilton Gibson is a collection of essays written in the late 19th century. The work offers an intimate glimpse into the joys of nature and the curiosities of life surrounding the author’s rural studio, blending personal reflections with observations of wildlife. Through vivid descriptions, Gibson brings to life the interactions he has with various creatures, from squirrels and birds to insects, and meditates on the wonder of their existence in his artistic environment." "The opening of "My Studio Neighbors" establishes a tranquil yet lively atmosphere around the author’s country studio, where he describes an abundance of animal and insect life that frequents his space. He reflects on the contrast between solitude and the chaos of nature, depicting playful squirrels, woodchucks, and various birds that visit his workspace. The narrative captures moments of distraction from his work due to the antics of a hornet, caterpillars discovered in his bamboo brushes, and frequent skirmishes with the buzzing of bees. Gibson's lively depictions set the tone for a celebration of nature, as well as a narrative that blends heartfelt observation with scientific inquiry into the lives of his unexpected studio neighbors."
