I will not be posting a blogpost next week, but watch for the week after when I can show you an exciting new exhibition and details of a talk I am giving at an event!
July 1- 7 was International Nature Journaling Week.
This year they are taking a ‘Sensory Safari’, focusing on the delights that are available to us when we pay close attention to our sensory experiences.They will also have a theme for each day during the week to guide our focus. The daily themes were :
I posted my first few days last Sunday’s blogpost Below are the last three.
My days changed and I did not get to go out in nature as I had planned. I was still able to interpret the themes. “Movement” was from a photo, because sparrows never stay still, not even for a quick sketch. I listened to the video for the day and it opened my mind and eyes as to what is movement.
“Flavour” was much easier
I loved the “Heart” video. It is all about the invisible connection that you can have with nature.
In case you missed last week, I am going to post the links.
“Explore the website – there is lots to discover! You can Start Here and then find out How to Participate in the week. There is a page for Parents & Teachers, one for the Reluctant Artist and a page on sharing the Written Word in our nature journal pages.

Two of my sketching friends are some of the Administrators of this amazing week. There is so much to learn from watching the daily interviews and explanations. Congratulations to everyone involved in organising this special week.
