A moment to late I realized that I have picked up the wrong book for this discussion, but a book that has on the other hand a very simular theme. The book is called "keeping a Nature Journal; discovering a whole new way of seeing the world around you" by Clare Walker Leslie and Charles E. Roth. I found the advice given by these two experienced journalists refreshing and inspiring as they shared adice on starting and maintaining a journal or journals and the different ways of journaling, such as project journaling where one works on learning something or answering a question of theirs through observations. There is also experience journaling where one pays closer attention to the natural experiences they have on a daily basis and explore how those experiences effect them. They mentioned all the basics of journaling such as what types of paper one should use based on how they plan to use the journal and they even gave a chapter on artistic expression for beginner artists.
I found the idea of journaling for the seasons a very interesting thing to do in journaling to catalog change. This reminded me alot of our assignment in class for finding a placing the woods to sit and journal weekly on our own. I will deffinalty keep track of some of the hints and tips for journaling in this book and put them to use during the year. Though I did not read the right book I feel that I still learned something useful and relevant to this class through this book.
