Journaling

I had an observer reach out to me about how they wished I would journal. I had said I wouldn't know what to write. Even if it were a simple line or two describing what I was seeing, the area of the observations, they responded. I do keep a journal, a physical one about my travels. I have little thoughts in my mind about various observations. Silly antics about getting a photo of something when I'm very much supposed to be focused on something else.

I earned the moniker "Nature Girl" because all my friends know that is where I want to be. Where I spend my time. Even my coworkers know that I am most at home and comfortable out in nature. I had a friend tell me once that the only relationship I seem to be open to is with nature and not with another human. If I'm not working, I'm hiking. I'm looking for critters. I'm exploring the world around me. I write in a private journal about my adventures, not all biology related, but I do write, a lot. I write about how I wish other people loved the wild places and the beauty of the world around us, like I do. I want to share it with people. And I want them to love this planet and what it has to offer as much as I love it. Enjoy it as much as I enjoy it.

Actually in the weeks prior to this individual writing to me about starting a journal on here, I had thought about starting one. I didn't know what to write. I didn't know if I wanted it to be public. When I write it is often just for me. As I am writing this I can see that it shows I can select an observation to associate with this post. I don't know how that will look, and it may take me some time, but perhaps I will start by going back to some observations and writing about those. It might be nice to see the observation attached to a little writing.

Oh, and thank you observer for complimenting my photography. I sure try. It is an art form I am working on and photos are a way to share the world I've seen with others. I know you will be reading this since you are the first, and only person who asked me to journal. It was more than a few lines, but I will try to do some little journal entry for some of my observations. I have been going back in time and uploading old ones, but for future ones I will try to get something up here for you, and anyone else, to read about my observations.
