We have a big peony bush in the garden. Do we refer to them as bushes? Or should I simply talk about peony plants?

Either way, we have several big ones in the garden. I take a photograph of one of them and totally fail to capture its delicate beauty.

Slowly I get better at recognising plants. Yesterday I got slightly better at swimming. I like this continuing joy at getting better at things. I like this continuing to get better at things.

I think that I will avoid referring to it as lifelong learning. I have my reasons for this and they involve the consequences of turning verbs into nouns. Which rarely turn out for the better.
