I have apps that analyse every bird, plane and plant – now I need my sense of wonder back

In the great outdoors, I find peace. Up hills, down dales, on beaches and cliffs and in fields and woods, I am a study in contentment. Just me and God’s green Earth. And my phone. “Put the bloody thing away,” implores a voice next to me, or in my head. But I can’t comply.
