when you open your pantry and you realize the selection of delicious jam from last years berry harvest is dwindling. And those jars of dried mushrooms are disappearing, too.
There is still plenty of salmon in the freezer, but the next spawning season is months away. Around goes the cycle of consumption and replenishment .
Appreciating everything nature has to offer.

Yellow skunk cabbage, Lysichiton americanum
Home-grown/made produce sounds good to me.
Most of our fresh salmon is farmed. The Tasmanian salmon is lovely, but the New Zealand salmon is too oily for my taste buds.
Nice shot of the skunk cabbage. I assume it has a terrible smell by its name?
The smell is pungent. Bears ear it. It’s bad for your kidneys. Lovely to watch.
I have only two jars of jam left and I’m hoarding them until a little later this summer so I don’t have to go without for quite as long!
You know, there is always Nutella…
