THE GUIDE TO NATUR1 



THE EFFECTS OF A\ ICE STORM. 



To turn nature into a glistening; fairy 



Mr. Norton took a series of several 

 photographs and all are good, though 



land and to bend, break or gracefully we show only the two following. But, 



curve the trees and shrubs are the especial 

 effects of an "ice storm." 



Among the trees none more gracefully 

 take the decorations than do the white 

 birches. 



The following photographs by Mr. 

 Milo Leon Norton show great scenic beau- 

 ty but fail t< i sh< >w detail. What a wonder- 

 ful photograph could have been obtained 

 from the detail of a section of this won- 

 derful scene. 



to my mind, a series showing the details 

 with varying length of bellows would 

 have been better. Most of us nature stu- 

 dents wander around too much. We try 

 to compass all. It would be far better to 

 carefully study a small portion more in 

 detail. What a wonderful photograph 

 could have been obtained here with a 

 square yard of black cloth for background 

 and a long; focus camera.
