What is an observation?

iNat is my nature journal. For example for plants, I find it interesting to see how individuals are developing/growing, or, in my urban locale, being managed over time. So I might observe the same individual weed in a sidewalk crack multiple times. : )

This points to something I don’t understand with iNat. My opinion it makes more sense to have one observation(from the same location) and just continue to add photos, dates etc. Then you can view the one observation and see all of the changes.

When my observations are all from the same location, I just don’t see anything wrong with adding additional photos and info. Now if it is a different location, then that is another matter.
