It’s been quite some time since I’ve blogged here. A lot has happened through the years including a Firestorm and a difficult move. I’m not ready or wanting to talk about that ordeal so I will start here; wildflower hunting by the Russian River in Sonoma County.
I’ve been taking pictures this spring with my iPhone while I walk the dogs along the river. It’s been a gorgeous spring. The wildflowers are blooming everywhere and the butterflies are abundant! I'm amazed at how, just moving a little bit further away from where I used to live, can be so incredibly diverse with flora, plant-life, insects, climate differences- it must be because I moved from suburbia to the woods!
Since I’ve been interested in learning about wildflowers, my entire life it seems, I finally decided to turn to a plant identifier named iNaturalist on my iPhone to learn more about my observations. I’m not a botanist but I do love studying botany as a photographer and artist. I labeled the wildflowers best I could with the app. If anyone notices the plants are identified incorrectly please shoot me a 'Kind' message and I'll change it. Also since I'm NOT an expert, Don't Eat My Plants posted, lol! (my disclaimer)
