Come into the present moment with everyday nature that makes you stop, watch and be amazed by the tiniest things.

Zoom in to watch a hummingbird drink nectar; watch a pea shoot appear; see a little snail as he comes come out to drink. With charming text and real science, see nature up close and let it stop you in your tracks, so that you can truly find joy in the present moment.
