Happy Summer! 

If you look around, you can see the signs of summer all around us. Various flowers are in full bloom, painting the ground and plant life in a dazzling array of colors, and everyday the appeal of a swim in cool water grows stronger. As the air heats up and the days continue to get longer, what better time to take a look at what’s around us to explore? Tallahassee is full of little gems of nature that we’ll be sharing with you over the next few months in our new series: Tallahassee Outside!
