A Year on Planet Earth

Winter has begun and with less solar energy the northern hemisphere freezes, life is at its hardest; as the planet starts its incredible journey around the sun, Earth's northern pole tilts away from the warmth and light.

Spring is the season of opportunity; the great melt begins and new life erupts; life in the Southern Hemisphere gets rough with worsening conditions as animals prepare for shorter days.

Autumn is the season of change, offering new beginnings or a chance to take a new path; many species prepare for winter to secure their place for the next year's circle of life.
