This weekend I was also lucky enough to be able to go for a visit to the South Shore Natural Science Center with my mother. Growing up, my mother would always take my younger brother and I on nature walks around the area, and the Science Center was always one of our favorite places to go. Not only because of all the trails,but because of the different animals you could see, like a Red-tailed Hawk, or an Iguana. There is also a greenhouse with all kinds of exotic plants, like pitcher plants and different cacti.
I always appreciate getting the chance to get out into nature, as it tends to give one a different perspective. In the quiet of nature, there is a total removal from all troubles and concerns that one may be contending with. To share this time with others is even greater, as it helps the two focus on each other, as they are together and away from all others. I haven't really been taking enough time to get into nature, and this is something I hope to continue in the coming semester.
