1.)  I have always loved to write and found writing outside was always fueled by the power of nature.  I eventually found that I wrote and sketched pictures at the same time, which evolved into a type of nature journal.  Now, many years later, I introduce children to nature journals as an educator, which gives me more inspiration to improve my own journaling! 2.)  I will try the journals with a particular subject per page, like the first journaler who drew various ferns, observed their similarities and differences and later researched unknown facts and names.  This is then a great personal reference!  I also am going to try to give my pages the finished look, as the journaler did by adding boxes around the pictures and questions. 3.)  I enjoying photographing nature and may include some photos in my journal.  This will actually encourage me to print my pictures, but also add an extra layer of interest to the journal.  I also think that I wouls also like to reaserch what I have seen and add some fun facts to the pages.
