Attempting a bit of Botany
I spent the day with iNat user microm who was kind enough to take me out for some plant study. I'm a real novice with plants and she was very patient with me not learning some of them the first time around. I took lots of photos and will be able to refer back to them in the future for more help. Along the way I managed to find a few birds, butterflies and even an awesome looking Ladybird Beetle larva (which sea-kangaroo identified for me as I had no clue what it was).
Thanks for a fun day microm!

Thanks BJ. I am not learning about birds all that fast either and it is fun to share explorations and discoveries!
