Determined to finish 2020
I have a pretty big backlog of photos (and some audio files) to turn into observations. Not only do I have lots from years before I joined iNat but also plenty from the time since then. Part of the problem is that after I go on an outing and take lots of photos, I end up with a bad migraine that takes a couple days to recover from. Usually by then I've started thinking about all the things I need to do around the house and going through photos gets pushed to the back burner. Also I take a whole bunch of photos because I'm really want to be sure they came out (because I can't just go back and take more). And then going through all these photos can sometimes trigger vertigo (same with lots of internet scrolling) or a tension headache (which may evolve into a migraine).
I am determined to fully complete my observations for 2020. In order to encourage myself to finish, I have vowed to not post anything from 2021 until I'm done. And I have some cool stuff from my trail cam this year that I really want to share. Most of what I have left is fungi. I have been putting off posting them because I want to sit down with my notes and fungus book and try to ID them myself.
Observations below are one from each month of 2020. They aren't in order.

We were walking off trail looking for orchids. Spotted this little snake curled up between clumps of grass about 5 feet in front of me. It never made a sound, never moved a muscle.

Hi Lisa! I've recently taken on a project in Warren to bring wonderful life into a 1 acre property. I'm working with fungi and have trained under a few notable people in the industry. I found Watson Nature Preserve and have been wanting to visit then heard about and found you. I'd love to chat with you sometime if possible when you're well.
Thank you,
Robert Mitchke
@rob_bass David Lewis does mushroom walks at Watson Rare Native Plant Preserve at least once a year. I have a copy of Mushrooms of the Gulf Coast States (of which he is one of the authors). How did you hear about me? You can send me a message on iNat any time.
@rob_bass PS if you start documenting your property on iNaturalist and create a project for it, I can add your project to this Umbrella project I created: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/big-thicket-private-property-umbrella . I can help you create your project if you need.
