Sign in to join the discussionI am a regular amateur with day hiking. Would a beginner slow everyone down? I would not want to become the problem.

A beginner should not be a problem in an invitation that welcomes beginners. I need to choose a pace that makes that true. I need to allow for this: I rely on public transport for most outings.

For this wish, 桃子 中島: I like the idea, but I cannot promise to turn up. Can I stay in the conversation without saying yes? The practical limit is that I keep a small monthly hobby budget.

I do not need everyone to choose the same version. With day hiking, I am keen to learn with others. Yes. Staying curious is enough for now. I would rather have an honest maybe than a yes that makes someone uncomfortable.

I would also like to identify five birds in a nearby park. For me, I keep a small monthly hobby budget.

That gives us two related aims to compare. I would like to learn to photograph plants without disturbing them. For me, I rely on public transport for most outings.

I would like to hear more about the part you actually enjoy in learn to photograph plants without disturbing them. What would you protect if the plan had to shrink?

I would keep the main wish in view: learn to photograph plants without disturbing them. A suggestion is useful if it helps that first attempt, rather than adding another project.
Reply to 桃子 中島
桃子 中島, that sounds manageable.

On “Learn to photograph plants without disturbing them”, yes. I want to keep track of what was workable, what took more effort than expected and what I would leave out next time. The help I would value is advice for a small growing space.
