The author's descriptions are rich and deep and often complex when applied to topics of nature. She is very sweeping and sometimes grandiose in her graphic portrayal of nature, as well as her own impressions and perceptions of it. There is a manic quality to some of her rapturous descriptions, such as the magnolia tree and the frog symphony.
