Basically me the first time I took shrooms, I could not get past how beautiful just regular old trees are and how I never realized despite them being all around us

Same, but with the color red. Why would anyone do anything but grow red chard and then look at it??
Really well drawn white throated sparrow
I wish I had the brain power to identify trees or birds the way anyone can cars or motorcycles.
There are books about this, which you can study. Go outside, identify the trees in your neighborhood and with time you will learn to identify them without the book.
You can show me a picture of a bird or leaf a dozen times, I won't remember enough to tell it from other birds and trees. You show me a specific model car or motorcycle once and I can probably remember it forever.
I wonder if bird-brained people have the same experience traveling, doing a double-take every time they see something that don't exist back home.
Try two dozen times then. And stop talking yourself out of it. If I can learn to identify cars when I once was so absolutely indifferent to them, you can do birds trees. You’re the one standing in the way of yourself here.
