Well, summer is the main growing season as it has the longer days, which means the plants get more sunlight and can grow more each day. This in turn means more food for both humans and animals, a higher production of breathable oxygen, and is the time for growing up for young creatures. They are born in spring, they grow up in summer and they leave home in autumn, to prepare themselves for winter.

So summer is the time of longer and more bountiful harvests, as opposed to the new shoots of spring, and the time for childhood and fun as opposed to the barrenness of winter, and the time for being carefree and joyous as opposed to the careful storing of food in autumn.

In Australia, summer is also the time of bushfires. Bushfires are technically a good thing in the natural aspects of Australia, as a lot of of our plants such as the Eucalyptus tree and wattle need bushfires to release their new seeds. It also clears undergrowth and removes weeds that may choke out older trees. The wildlife of Australia can be sort of equated to pheonixes, actually, as a lot of our plants and animals rise from the ashes even stronger than before.

It's just that humans have decided bushfire territory is the best place to build their houses, which is why they become a negative thing...

But yeah. Summer is good. I can be poetic =3
