I have come to the conclusion that the line between nature study and a nature journal is getting sort of fuzzy. You can have lots of nature study and not have a nature journal.
Don't let your lack of skill in drawing keep you from your nature study.
Nature walk=
Time outdoors+time spent in observation
Nature study=
Time outdoors+time spent in observation+time learning about your discoveries
Nature journal=
Time outdoors+time spent in observation+time learning about your discoveries+time recording your observations and thoughts
I am in no way discouraging nature journals but I am convinced that if you spend enough time in nature study, you will have more to write about in your journal.
Argh! I happened to be biting into a piece of sushi as I saw the pic of the slug. :) My son is a nature lover and I've always wondered what all the fuss about nature study is. Thanks for showing us how you do it.
ReplyDeleteNo fuss, just a lot of fun and adventure.

Sorry about the slug.
