Good luck

1. What inspired you to begin nature journaling? I've hiked and traveled all my life taking photos and putting them away, or iPhone photos I seldom look at, and when I do, there are so many observations that I know are lost.  I turn 69 next month and want to begin methodically recording what I actually observe and hope to do it for as long as I keep hiking and traveling. Great memory enhancers. 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? Shayna and Liz have a holistic approach pairing what they saw with what they felt objectively and subjectively. I think I will endeavor to adopt a combination of these.  I also know I will try to capture the scientific structure of animal, vegetable and mineral of what I see, because these comprise the total experience. 3. Do you have a different journaling idea, not mentioned here, that you’d like to share? I hope to slow my pace down to enjoy nature more, and record more detail each day.
