      I grow more and more obsessed (especially with plant and fungi) taxonomy! Keying things out can be so rewarding (but maddening at times)! Posted 7 years ago

        I understand the obsession as well as frustration :) All those bits and pieces do add up over time. You've already photographed over 200 species! And these don't lose value, they are here to stay as incredibly useful and educational observations for an indefinite amount of time. Posted 7 years ago
