Being outside with my students last week was great. Now that the weather is warming up, I'm looking forward to the start of "field trip season," which for me starts next week. This photo (by a friend of a friend) summarizes my attitude towards field trips:

My translation: "Field trips! Cue the singing angels! It's great to be outside! It's great to be a geologist! It's great to live on planet Earth! Love it, people: Play on your planet! Get out there and experience the one & only planet that you will ever know!"
