Trees and vines and bushes and grass and undergrowth, verdant, overripe to the point of hysteria. Wet, heavy summer rain, seemingly just as endless, pouring into puddles drop after drop.
Bright summer sun, hanging overhead like it will never set again. Big summer-night skies, full of stars and moonlight.
In between, nature, as drawn with preposterous skill by Jillian Tamaki, proves capable of enveloping her without her help. At the end she and a friend dig a hole in the beach big enough to contain her, and she lies in it, posing for her last picture of the summer - this is how she wants to remember it. At the beginning of This One Summer, its main character, Rose, splashes down into her bed, holding her nose and falling backwards as if leaping off a dock into the lake nearby.
