New Nature Journal

An exciting order came from Europe last week - 

blank journals filled with watercolor paper. 

Elsa and I have been nature journaling on 

mixed media paper, which doesn't handle watercolors very well, so it was great to find 

some reasonably priced spiral bound pads 

of higher quality paper.



My first page was inspired by the novel view of 

a buckwheat field. I don't know if there are any 

in our county, but there are several about an 

hour east. Dad pulled over when I asked to see 

one up close.

The second page gave a pleasant afternoon spent on our front steps.

The 5 foot tall, 6 foot across 'Great Star' 

hydrangea by our garage caught my eye.

And when looking around for more to fill my 

page, I (maybe foolishly) attempted some 

of our rock collection displayed among the 

flower pots.

As always, I love the time spent learning more 

about the intricate varieties of God's creation... 

things I never would have taken time to notice before!
