1. I almost feel like drawing from a photo is more annoying because I feel like I have to get everything down. If I were drawing this bird from life I wouldn't have the time to think about exactly what angle each part is at, I would just have to get something down as best I could. There also might be behavioral activity that would make watching them way more interesting. 2. Because I was drawing from the photo, I did notice how the leg connects to the body in that you can see and infer where the joints go based on how their body is positioned.

1. I was inspired specifically by John Muir Laws' form of nature journaling, which is about inquiry and observation, rather than just drawing or writing. I work with kids and teach a lot about science, so this method really appeals to me, and has been very rewarding on a personal level as well. 2. I really liked the first journal, particularly when her drawings began to burst out of the boxes - I also thought it made them look more vibrant and alive, and I think I might try to incorporate that. 3. One small thing I've learned from Laws' work is making a little bubble question mark right next to a question or a list of questions - it makes the page look more fun and also helps to organize it.
