Excursion Day 2: Herbs and Flowers

[mothwing]

On the second day we listened to a talk at the local environmental centre and took a tour of a nature reserve by horse-drawn wagon. A woman that looked and talked like a Biology teacher told us about herbal remedies, dyes, poisons and folklore, in the afternoon, in the nature reserve, a conservationist from a local organisation talked us through local birds living at the Herzog's carp ponds.

I had completely forgotten how big hornets are.








Yay, fennel.


Look at those pumpkins! I wanted to take one.


This little plant is guilty of driving out many local varieties. I still love them.
