Hi everyone!

I'm starting up the old blog once again at https://lostinnatureblog.wordpress.com

Today's post is about yesterday's adventures along the Mississippi River Valley (Kinkaid Lake Spillway, bottoms around Jacob Illinois and briefly in Oakwood Bottoms)

Another blogpost entry, after the associated observation blew up in a couple of Facebook groups.

New blogpost for Spring Break. I'm looking forwards to even more spring. Thanks again to everyone who IDs what I put out here. I'm learning so much from it.

Well I've gone and posted another entry to my blog. I also want to say that of late I've heard that a few people intend to try and win this Illinois Botany Big Year, and that at least one of them isn't me. I want to wish my competition good luck. Many of you know FAR more about field botany than I do, and I've enjoyed learning much about plants in this state from your observations.

I'm thrilled at the arrival of spring and I wish anyone who reads this has a good and productive spring.
