Writing a Journal about nature and wildlife an what you have seen is a great way of proving a look back at your experiences and adventures.
I have been keeping a daily journal for a while now (10 years or so) and have not really got into adding drawings. So I have been looking into how to do this.
There are some great examples of nature journalling and I have been recently watching some of John Muir Laws youtube videos on how to draw nature.
The 1st to 7th June was International Nature Journal Week and at https://www.naturejournalingweek.com/ there are lots of resources and videos to help get you started or give you ideas for your current journal.
Here is the programme from the event and links to the different subject categories that were covered:
- 1ST JUNE – PLANTS
- 2ND JUNE – ANIMALS
- 3RD JUNE – FUNGI
- 4TH JUNE – NATURE FINDS
- 5TH JUNE – LANDSCAPES
- 6TH JUNE – SKIES
- 7TH JUNE – ECOSYSTEMS
There are also groups such as https://www.facebook.com/groups/naturejournalclub/ that can provide inspiration if this is something you want to do. A great way of look at what others are doing.
Remember a journal does not need to be perfect. Its your creation and creativity so make it how you want it.
Will you start a Journal?
