内容简介：

身处在大自然之中，一个男孩抛出了鱼线，看着鱼漂在水上浮动，等待着鱼儿上钩；一只蜘蛛熟练地织网，等待着它的猎物；色彩缤纷的花儿也散发着香气，等待着蜜蜂和蝴蝶在此停留；还有躲在岩石后面的蝾螈，土壤里的蝉幼虫……所有的生物都在耐心地等待着某个时刻。在大自然中，等待对于生命来说是如此重要。

作者是一名渔夫和大自然爱好者，虽然本书整体风格简单，但作者捕捉到了这些生物的特征。读者会在阅读的过程中仿佛深吸到了新鲜空气，回想起当今社会中正在被忽视的那些“等待时刻”。

Surrounded by nature, a boy casts his fishing line. He watches the float bob above the hook and waits for a bite. A spider, too, deftly spins its web and waits for prey. Flowers exude color and scent and wait for bees or butterflies to stop. A salamander behind a rock, a cicada larva in the soil … all are waiting patiently for a certain moment. In nature, waiting is important for life. 

This book’s creator is himself a fisherman and a nature lover; while employing a simplistic style, he captures the characteristics of the featured creatures. His backgrounds use only a rough touch and color, creating the effect of screen layout. As if drawing in a deep breath of fresh air, the reader of this book comfortably recalls the abundant “waiting time” that is being lost in today’s society.
