Project: Plants 5.0
Plants! Plants 5.0 – that’s right, I’ve shared a few plant updates over the years, yet not in the last 4 years or so. While we have a handful of new ones, some of our old-timey ones are doing great.

We opted to get it done in 4 days. Here we go with day one! Laugavegur Trail Day One First…
