Curious Naturalist: Nature's Everyday Mysteries

Our lives are surrounded by ordinary miracles, everyday mysteries. To find them, all you need to do is indulge your senses. Follow the scent of earth outdoors on a cool, wet morning in spring. On a hot August afternoon, go down to the local pond and watch dragonfly larvae crawl out of their skins. On a still December night, let the moonlight call you outdoors to listen to the wind sigh in the pines.
