The summer months remind us just how lucky we are to experience nature in all its glory. Though the sun may be beating down a bit harshly at times, and the beachy waters we dive into are riddled with seaweed and other sea specimens, nature lovers wouldn’t want it any other way. Embracing nature for what she is allows us to give up our predispositions and live in the present. Have you ever touched moss on a tree and felt ALIVE? If you have, then these memes might be for you.

The rolling hills and grassy clearings of the northeast, the sandy sights of the west, and the twister-ridden plains of the midwest show us just how versatile nature can be. I live in New York City, so pizza-eating rats and stray cats, along with the oddball pigeon and squirrel in my backyard, are the only daily nature findings I make. Upstate New York, though—that’s a dream. With autumn coming in hot, I can’t wait to make day trips up the Hudson to watch the foliage in peak season and make it my entire personality. What do you do in nature that makes it just as special for you? While you think on that, scroll through these memes that just might remind you.
