I heart iNaturalist!

I finally feel like I'm making progress, after all this obsessive picture-taking for the past few years, with almost zero systematic studying of plants (or other organisms).

I've finally started picking up on the many ways plants can be identified and distinguished from one another...Can't wait to start studying this more seriously!

I just want to say how VERY grateful I am for the people that devised this incredible platform and all the people that spend so much time maintaining it. It makes me feel hopeful about humankind in general.
What a great year to be alive. ;)

(Seriously, though--it really is in many ways if you look at it from the big picture point of view. --Check out Better Angels of Our Nature, by Steven Pinker, for reasons to hope).
