The Summer Season is Finally Here!
Today marks July 4th, the unofficial opening to the summer season in the United States. Even though it’s already been a couple of weeks since summer began, many Americans will head outdoors this weekend to soak up the sun for the first time this year with their friends and families. Beaches are packed, barbecue grills fired up, and absolute joy is in the air. We thought this might also be a good time to appreciate the wonders of nature that come with the emergence of summer. Although it’s not summer everywhere in the world, every country has its own unique features, and vibrant colors, that get highlighted when the sun comes out. Here’s a quick tour of what’s in store for you in some select regions:
