First full moon this Kenya trip! Taken at 6:50 PM (just after sunset) with my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The camera continues to blow me away after using my iPhone 13 Pro Max for the last 4 years! 💫

A couple apps have IDed this as Rosa setigera rather than Rosa multiflora, but it’s really growing along our back fence this year. And this bumble bee was enjoying it. 🐝

Today’s banana bread! Can’t wait to eat some after it cools off. 🍌😍 Hope you’re less stressed today!
