Still trsting my "new" camera which still suffers from minor issues when using EF-S lenses but this may as well be just the cheaper quality of those lenses becoming more noticeable. The white campions in my yard, which are striving in contrast to those near my village, not only are an excellent choice for gear tests but also provide nectar for owlet & hawk moths.

Part of my morning ritual is to fix incorrect IDs on iNaturalist for the one species on the planet I'm really, really familiar with, Silene latifolia (my PhD focus). It gives me a quick buzz of competence that lasts several minutes, plus reminds me of good times in graduate school. #silene #dioecy #botany #classification #plants #flowers #inaturalist #caryophyllaceae #WhiteCampion #BladderCampion #BrownUniversity
