1. What inspired you to begin nature journaling? Becoming a Master Naturalist inspired me to begin nature journaling, but my best friend buying this course for me has rekindled the flame. 2. Now that you’ve heard from several other journalers about their processes, and had a peek at their journals, which ideas or approaches do you want to try? I would love to try the stylized layouts of the last journalist featured. I loved her use of color and layouts! 3. Do you have a different journaling idea, not mentioned here, that you’d like to share? I'd like to adopt two styles I learned from this video. I loved the monthly layout idea with a highlight of illustrations and then going into more detail like the first journaler with detailed information. I also loved her style of the partial boxes and how the images seemed to jump from the page. I think I'd also like to integrate more charts and tables in my journal. Also, in addition to the time of day, date, weather, and place I'd like to add moon phase to my box on the top of my page. Also, playing around with the boxes location (Top or bottom horizontal, left or right vertical, maybe even a small box for each corner and then moon phase in the middle of the top or bottom left or right).
