I enjoyed learning a bit of German for my trip awhile back but forgot most of it. It didn’t seem hard to learn.

The app I use for identifying plants, PictureThis, does not identify snakes, but it does identify bugs. I just wanted to post this in case other ppl are interested in an app for bugs. I was able to identify 2 spiders who are living near my home. I was even able to identify that they are both female. They are both female Triangulate Cobweb Spiders. I’ve always heard that learning about things you’re afraid of helps you to not be as afraid of them & it’s true bc as soon as I learned about them, my fear of them reduced significantly.

You have to pay for it though. 
I think it’s worth it though. They have a free trial that lasts 3 days, so you can play around with it & see if it’s for you. The app has a lot of very useful things that I didn’t mention.

The grumpy winter skies on this cold morning on the estuary. They call this section the Osprey waters, on account of the big nests for the sea hawks. Pretty peaceful spot

The swan that lives in my backyard only had one baby. Very cute at this stage, so small and fuzzy.
