Monday — never an easy time for the outdoors enthusiast. After a weekend of adventure, returning to the humdrum work-a-day world can make one melancholy. To help ease the transition, every Monday we feature a 90 Second Escape — essentially, a 90-second video or slide show of a place you’d probably rather be: a trail, a park, a greenway, a lake … anywhere as long as it’s not under a fluorescent bulb.
Today’s 90-Second Escape: Summer Plods On
In the beginning, we can’t wait for summer to begin. Come Memorial Day, the neighborhood pool opens, we start counting the days — not weeks or months — until our beach vacation, we abandon the kitchen for the backyard grill. And it’s easy to see why: summer is a sly seductress, immediately giving us the heat we crave while holding back on the humidity that makes us wilt.
