I enjoyed those immensely, Tom.

"Nature was here a series of wonders, and a fund of delight. Here she
displayed her ingenuity and industry in a variety of flowers and
fruits, beautifully coloured, elegantly shaped, and charmingly
flavoured; and we were diverted with innumerable animals presenting
themselves perpetually to our view." - Daniel Boone, Kentucky, 1769
