    Really great how you're documenting different life cycles, angles, etc. This makes for a rich and educational set!

    PS: it seems you forgot to set the country/geotag on this one. No worries, it's common to let one slip through, happens to me all the time. So let me tell you about this feature:

    That list on your personal profile will always show personal observations that do not have any country or geotag set.     Posted 6 years ago
