I started Nature journaling as a way to improve my observational skills and decrease my reliance on my cell phone's camera while in the field as part of my nature guide studies. I realized that even if I take 20 photos of something interesting in nature, I rarely look back at the pictures with the same interest. However,if I spend even 20 minutes observing and drawing the same thing, I retain much more information about what I saw. Nature journaling is not yet as trendy in Belgium as it is elsewhere,so I find myself in a strange position of being a beginner and yet having more experience than others around me.
