I compared a sedge and a grass. I noticed how much wider the blades were on the sedge and they seemed sharper. The grass was softer, willowy. The sedge seemed to be encapsulated at the bottom where the blades and stem emerged. The grass seemed to emerge form the root.

I was at a Florida state park, and found a place to sit along the river. It was hrd for me to just sit and experience rather than "doing" something. I was much more tuned into sounds than I have been when actively working on journaling. When I'm actually journaling , it's my sense of sight that I'm using more. ITried to tune into other senses like smell and touch but these were harder.

It was challenging to get the proportions right. I noticed the relationship between the beak and the eye. Also the shape of the wing and wing feathers. The legs were really hard to get at the right angle.

I like the idea of recording trips with a nature journal since I travel in my van a lot. I also like the idea of mixing drawings with writings. And using boxes to define certain parts of the page. I have been nature journaling now for about 3 years and can see the difference in my approach and also in my ability to observe, which has also made me more observant in other parts of my life.
