things to be happy about nature

• a ragged border of marsh plants
• grass-covered levees in a string bog
• stopping by the edge of a woodland and finding dainty-flowered anemones nodding brightly in the breeze
• a deeply fissured ice field
• copper butterflies
• snow showers melting on touchdown
• the Amur tiger
• a wild profusion of tomatoes
• a wild garden, propagating extravagantly
• living on a sphere, turning in the light of a star
• deadheading the daffodils
• weather residing in the troposphere
• a wild rose blooming at the edge of a thicket
• a wild garden basking in the sun
