The Nature Journal Connection, Episode 31: Sense of Place

Exploring a special place may require special methods. It helps to have a plan. Go on a scavenger hunt and find three small items that strongly represent this place at this time. You might, for instance, choose a brightly colored leaf in an autumn forest. Draw and describe these into your journal. Then add a little landscape sketch or diagram to complete the story. By combining the small found objects with the big picture you can capture the mystery and memories of a special place.
