Spring is coming—it's time to start frolicking through wildflowers and get antsy for summer expeditions.
Here are a few photos that make us think spring. What are some of your favorites?
Flowers…
Flowers at a shrine visited by students with NOLS in India.

A lovely blossom in Baja.

A Southwestern beauty.

Stunning wildflowers on a sunny day in Patagonia (which is heading into winter now...).

Bugs…
Beetle in the Southwest. Not actual size.

Dragonfly just chillin' along the Salmon River.

Muddy feet…
Bring it on.

Mud=fun.

And of course, baby animals…
Adorable Arctic wolf pups.

A yellow beard on a llama—why not? (By the way, we have llama-supported trips for NOLS alumni and their family and friends.)

Adventure is out there!

Ducklings. We can't even.

Enjoy your springtime stoke and get ready for summer!
