I'm looking for a way to look at the natural world differently, being more engaged rather than just moving through it when on a walk or hike. Also, I've volunteered to be part of a phenology project at a local nature preserve and thought nature journaling might help me in my observations and recordings of those observations. I may start with DJ O'Neill's journaling, which seems to be capture what you see as quickly as you can. I'm sure my approach will evolve as I get started, as another of the journalers mentioned.
