 "What, exactly, was a naturalist? I wasn't sure, but I decided to spend the rest of my summer being one. If all it meant was writing about what you saw around you, I could do that. Besides, now that I had my own place to write things down, I saw things I'd never noticed before" (The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, Kelly, pg. 8-9).
The summer is almost here and the great outdoors is in full bloom! If you take a look around, I'm sure you'll notice all the flowers, rabbits, and pollen floating about.
