“On my way to work in the morning, this fairly large Stag Beetle crossed my path.  As you may notice, I took this picture with my cell phone.  I want to stress the importance of this.  I encourage everyone reading this to go outside and bring your cell phone and a journal.  You don’t need an expensive camera to be able to go outside and enjoy nature.  Please try that at least once this summer.  Go on adventures, and document them in a nature journal.  You don’t have to be a great artist.  I’m certainly not.  But it’s very fun to draw and write about different things.  It really helps you appreciate nature more.”
