"Few people know how to take a walk," Ralph Waldo Emerson said. "The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much." Take a walk with Bert Fischer and his camera to see some of the wildlife the Vineyard has in winter.
