May is the beginning of the breeding season for Rock Ptarmigans here in the Japanese Alps, and it's a good time to check on them and see if they are doing OK (they are classified as Endangered in Japan). It's been a rough few years for them on our local mountain... :(

🏰 I don't know about you, but I usually find it easier to first draw the thing, and then write about it. Even if this often means I have to tweak the drawing afterwards for it to match the text. Text-based RPGs being a thing, are there strictly picture-based RPG modules (without text) out there? 👀
