1. I have always enjoyed art but find that I need a prompt of some kind to begin drawing or painting. What better prompt is there than nature around us? 2. I liked the idea of taking a journal on a trip with you to make a memento for your adventure rather than just taking photographs. Clearly the journalers had memories deeply associated with each moment they took to draw a part of their trip. 3. I enjoy preserving pressed leaves and flowers, I'd like to incorporate some plant specimens when I can to my journals.
