Seek

My brother put me onto this app by iNaturalist called Seek. It allows you to identify plants and animals with your phone’s camera. He’d been using it up at his new place to identify plants and animals on his property. It’s been a game changer to say the least. Troy and I have taken to identifying everything in and around our house. We’ve even taken a few driving excursions to find new organisms to scan.

Not only is it increasing our knowledge, but it’s made us acutely more aware of surroundings. We no longer just walk through this world, but now we look down and up and all around, because you never know when you’ll spot a spider, or bird, or lizard. It’s also made us appreciate God’s creations so much more. There’s so much variety, and color, and weirdness out there. It’s amazing.
