That's really cool. Forgive me for not knowing proper plant language, but its arms resemble a sundew.
That's awesome! Thanks so much for the detailed response and photo.
I love paddling past herons. They look like dinosaurs as they quietly take off.
A bald eagle is a great find.
That looks great. How long did you go out for? See any cool birds?
I had a super choppy and windy day yesterday, followed by a hardscrabble fight up a tight, overly vegetated river in the backyard of a main highway and an industrial park. A lot of porting and branches to the face. Definitely type 2 fun lol.
Agreed. Sometimes fiction reflects reality very well, in its own unique way. I used to be a journalist, and I recall some of my colleagues wondering whether they could do more good by moving to fiction and taking on larger issues in that medium.
I feel that. It's remarkable how well some nonfiction writers can spin a story. Your excerpt shows that, for sure.
Your last couple of sentences resonate deeply. I was active like a decade ago. I remained active mostly in one sub, but only occasionally.
Here, it feels like I have to do my part.
I feel you regarding all this. But I also have to ask: What's the weirdest plant you own? Any carnivorous ones? (I love pitcher plants -- don't own any, but I seek them out in nature regularly.)
Well said. It's something I've done often without realizing I was doing it. There's something valuable in hearing the perspective or advice of what seem like real people and not a marketing campaign.
It does. For me, I think part of that is a sense of responsibility to help create what I want to be a part of. But people also just seem nicer here!
You need to capitalize the "G" in "Government" in every use. Thought that was bizarre years later when I realized it was incorrect and that I was anti-government.
