I too recently moved and am using INaturalist to get to know my new neighborhood! I wish that the urban environment I moved to was more walkable and foot-friendly but that is not the city planners idea of proper use of space. Thank you for your inspiration to change and adapt.
Sue, I bet that you're find ways that are foot-friendly in your new neighborhood, and I know you'll have fun using iNaturalist to "map" the community of the land there. May you find beauty in the exploring. Blessings!
I'm so pleased to know that you are settled into your new place. And, as always, I'm grateful to you, dear Susan, for sharing your wisdom with your fans. And so I have now coined a new term to express how I feel: Susanphilia...
Thanks, Liz! I look forward to showing you the place, once I have finished cleaning (buying a house from a 94-year-old woman means there's work to do!) and settling in. As for Susanphilia, that made me laugh. xo
How wonderful. I will do just this thing (one neighbor a week). Though I live in the suburbs north of NYC we have an abundance of trees, shrubs, creatures of all kinds. So here I go. I'll start a new notebook for this. Gracias, mi amor.
One of the special benefits of living in one place: getting to know the neighbors over time--through the seasons, through the years. Keeps us sane and steady in an ever-shifting world.
I'm reading Sheldrake's Entangled Life, on fungi, and marveling at the neighbors who live, invisibly, under my feet. A whole new-to-me world to investigate!

Glad I could provide a giggle on a Monday morning. XOXOXO

Marlena, De nada. I'm happy to share my love for the community of the land, and I'll look forward to hearing who you get to know!

Exactly! And keeps us nourished spiritually, physically and intellectually as well.

That was a fascinating read!
Contributing to profound sense of love and gratitude.
Precisely!
