My garden is full of bees! So many Osmia, Andrena and Bombus individuals everywhere ♥ (beehaw.org)

Haha, by being so depressed that I cannot do a lot in my garden even if I wanted to xD But jokes aside, I really love having a wild garden and taking pictures of everything. I don't like cultivated plants all that much.

I'm sorry to hear of the depression, but glad you found a good way to cope with it. Depression's hard.

Thanks! Taking pictures of animals, plants and fungi certainly helps a lot. I post them on iNaturalist as well! (Definite recommendation for everyone who hasn't heard of it!!)
