Life is like a cactus.

Thorny but beautiful.

Morning walk around Crescent Lake in Southington, CT. Mushrooms, vistas, ruins, rocks, and turtles today. IT was so green out, the camera doubled down on the color cast.

I also finally remembered my flower press. 😅 Nothing profound (I like common wildflowers and even flowering weeds) and this only holds ~4 pressings, which honestly is all one should be taking at a time, anyway. We'll see what things look like in a week or so.
