I haven’t been nature journaling — or updating this blog — as much as I’d like lately. Partly that’s because I’ve been really busy with other projects, including my perpetual journal and a botanical art commission (more on that later).
In September, the Chicago Nature Journaling Club held its first meetup on a bright and sunny morning. We plan to meet on the last Sunday of every month moving forward, including during the cold months. If you’re interested in getting involved with the group, please send me an email by clicking the envelope icon in the sidebar or email me at maureen@maureenclaremurphy.com.
I would like to get back into a more regular nature journaling practice — even if it’s just writing a sentence or two each day to record the interesting crow behavior I’ve been noticing around my office (some 20 crows were mobbing to Cooper’s hawks right outside the window earlier this week). But even if I’m only journaling for half an hour once a week, or even less frequently, it is better than nothing and a little bit can go a long way.
