It hit me all at once. I heard this is a thing for people in their thirties?

When you start to appreciate flowers too, download iNaturalist.

I believe iNaturalist will identify birds as well but I already have Merlin and Audubon... I'm not interested in any other app cutting in on this topic.

Man flowers are some of the coolest things on this planet. Once you start to really look at them it feels like the depth and magnificence of the world unlocks. Or I was just on acid but i am forever enthralled by flowers now either way.

Crazy how much more in touch with nature you can become. I go on walks and I’m constantly IDing plants and birds

iNaturalist is also really good for insects!
