Thanks! And it’s a chance to use my new word forb in a sentence. Sweet clover is a legume. All legumes are forbs, but not at all forbs are legumes.

I was really surprised when I pulled out this shot, and thanked the camera for its good work.

Looks convincing. The mos interesting thing here for me was learning that this was a forb, which I don’t remember ever hearing of. I’m studying a primer trying to understand the distinction between grasses, grass-like plants, and forms. I’m not quite there yet.

You think? That’s an awfully short parade. Looks like he’s lost his mates, the poor thing.

"Back at the hotel, there’s another unpleasant surprise when I realize I’m experiencing a minor arrhythmia episode while I’m lifting my bike into the car. Maybe the heat and humidity triggered it? In any case, I head straight upstairs and lie down to wait it out. A minute later Rachael brings me a glass of water, leans over to give me a kiss and then asks if that made it go away. Yes, I reply - truthfully. Just like that, it’s stopped. So there’s a serendipitous new therapy to play around with."

But isn't she *supposed to* make your heart go pitter-pat? Seems counter-intuitive as a therapy.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

White sweetclover?

A wonderful look indeed!

Whatever it is, it's a cute little bird isn't it?

No time to do research on others right now.

The all-knowing Google tells me this is "Marsh grass of parnassus":

And you thought you needed an operation when a kiss is the cure 😊
We’ve booked tickets to Frankfurt, early September! Buying bikes, following your trail to Vijlen and then going rogue in Belgium, ending in Haut-de-France a month later to drop off the bikes. So another short tour but hopefully longer next time. Spain in October was also in the running, but Germany/Belgium won out this time. Spain will be great for you now that you’ve found the new therapy for the arrhythmia episodes!

I'm not Bill but I think it might be a processionary caterpillar.

Is that logo a raven, and does it count as a 'bird' photo?
