I enjoy both nature and photography. I have gone to Maine in the summer my whole life, have lived in Ohio, California, Iowa, New York State, and Minnesota, and now live in Vermont. I used to take a lot of wildflower photos, then shifted to photographing ice formations. Lately I’ve been taking fewer pictures in general, because I’m wondering who would ever see them. But iNaturalist provides a reason to take good photos and have a purpose in doing it. Thanks to everybody who has confirmed my observations.
