In the field doing everything I can to stop a single thought from forming

1 / 4

Good plan! Heading to the woods to do the same.

I WISH! Looks a teensy bit dry where you are. Mojave?

Yeah, it’s incredibly dry here 😵‍💫

That is exactly my approach, but I confess that the acceleration of bad news is getting the best of me.

Is that book the Jepson desert manual?

Yes!

There’s nothing like that moment of pausing and thinking, wait, that looks different ….. and looking close and meeting a new friend

Have you met this odd little plant? Centrostegia thurberi

Seen near Tuttle Creek campground in my favorite place, the eastern sierras.

I have not, but I am loving the shape. There’s a lot of interesting buckwheats in the eastern Sierra that I wish I could explore 😵‍💫

Yes, like the pagoda buckwheat which I have not seen green and growing.

I’m just an itinerant, intermittent, baby botanist but plants are the root of everything important.

I agree, and learning the names of what plants you see and where you see them at in the environment tells you SOOOO MUCH
