Island in the Net by Khürt Williams

I'm losing track of which day of the week it is and what the day count is for the Isolation Photo Project. Starting today I will label this project similarly to how I name images for my iPhone 365 and 52 Week Smartphone Project.
The urge to pick up the camera wasn't with me today. I felt no creativity. Just emptiness. I watched the entire first season of Star Trek: Picard with my wife. Hours went by. In a way, I spent the day like the cat, Camilla, with my feet tucked up under me.
I don't remember much about today. In fact, until now, I had thought that what I did yesterday is actually what I did today. Am I losing it?
Submitted as part of the 100DaysToOffload project.Bhavna and I ventured out to another trail in West Amwell Township we had not visited before. This one was odd in that the trailhead starts on private property. We passed an old barn and some cars. It was a bit strange.
It had rained the entire week, and the trail was more than just soggy; it was "water into your shoe" deep in certain places. Fortunately, Bhavna had worn proper hiking shoes for this adventure, and we pushed through until the trail changed from its carpet of leaves to the rocky terrain we've come to expect when hiking in the Sourland Mountain Range.

The trees are still bare, but the spicebush (Lindera benzoin) is blooming.
This week the blanket of leaves revealed the start of new life. Rue Anemone (Thalictrum thalictroides), which I didn't notice a week ago, is now starting to bloom. I hear the buzzing of invisible insects.
Cut-leaved Toothwort (Cardamine concatenata), a flowering plant that I have not noticed in recent and past hikes, finds its life amongst the leaves at the base of the forest trees.
