I took a Travel Journaling class a couple years ago & really enjoyed it...but gee, it's easy for me to get over committed with other things that all involve my left brain and sometimes I wonder if I have a right brain left!  This class will encourage me to plan time to observe, make notes, and sketch.  We planted a butterfly garden with Florida native plants and my husband built an incredible pergola with a solar shade.  Now that it's finally cooling off a bit, I want to sit under the pergola and draw plants, insects & butterflies. One journaler observed basic bird shapes & pointed out the circles & ovals in the birds.  Another person included swatches of color on the side of the page.  Several noted that it doesn't need to be perfect!  I also liked the speaker who used her field guide for a more in depth study of her natural world including ferns.  That's a great way to continue learning.
