Sunny and 60ish degrees - I was amazed by the amount of activity in a sit spot in my own backyard. There were at least 9 different types of birds in just 20 minutes - at first just a few and then many on the ground, in the trees, up on the roof. Their different songs filled the air. Bird music!! A rabbit ran between the quail walking across the yard. Slowly I noticed the different hues of the trees - brilliant greens, with yellows and browns. I felt the slight breeze and heard a few pods drop on the ground from the tree above. I noticed all the different types of leaves, needles, etc covering the ground around me. And now there are so many flowers starting to bloom. I can't wait to do this again in other places.

Nature journaling feels like a way to slow down time. In a fast-paced life it is too easy for all the details to become blurred. I want to use nature journaling as an opportunity to sit, observe, sketch, write a story, take a note with no pressure for the end result or a rush to finish. I found looking at the various journal styles very freeing in the fact that you can do it however you want, and it may change over time. Putting the pen/pencil/brush to paper is the hardest first step.
