The Sun
Fairytale author, Hans Christian Andersen wrote, “The whole world is a series of miracles, but we’re so used to them that we call them everyday things”. In a park on a summer day, I looked at the ordinary things around me and tried to think about at least one of them as a miracle.

The tilt of the earth toward and away from the sun creates the seasons. It is certainly an everyday thing. But how about miraculous?

The goslings are steadily getting bigger and growing their adult feathers. As spring turns into summer, many birds have already made their nests and laid their eggs. Some of those eggs have successfully hatched, while others ended up a meal for another animal. Week to week, students have come to Audubon and watched the progression of nest building, egg laying, hatchlings and so on.
