Keeping a Nature Journal, 3rd Edition: Deepen Your Connection with the Natural World All Around You by Clare Walker Leslie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you like to journal and have always wanted to keep an art journal, like I have, you will love every single page of this book.
– It is full of encouragement.
– It gives you practical tips on how to start and how to keep going.
– It gives you many, many different examples of nature journals. So much eye candy.
– It breaks down most of what you’d see in nature (birds, animals, trees, etc.) and teaches you how to approach drawing them
– It gives you practical color advice for each season
– It has advice on how to teach the love of nature journaling to kids, classes, and anyone new.
But most of all it helps you fall in love with the practice of disconnecting, being present with nature, paying attention and capturing what you see. It’s not about the perfection, it’s about the feeling of being present and noticing and keeping track of all you noticed. Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.
