Nature Journaling Meetups in Person!

Right before the pandemic there were tons of nature journaling meetups happening in the San Francisco Bay Area. Well guess what? They are happening again! Thanks to Kate Rutter. In this video I interview several nature journalers about it.

Save the bees they said. Carmine bee eaters are one of my favorite birds right now. Red cheeked cordon-bleus are okay also I guess. Sorry #bees but #birds got to eat too.

Do drones die sad and alone or do they consider themselves part of something bigger? Join me tomorrow live for more drone questions including what they need their butts for and is it more furry than the female or is it a misrepresented social construct? If you have no idea what I’m talking about then be sure to pay attention to my Instagram stories at the top. #naturejournaling #dronebee #natureisweird #insects #eusocialinsects #bees #drawing #sketchbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CpEYG4rrqgJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nature Journaling With Kids: Interview with Kate Righter I’m really excited about this conversation tomorrow with Kate! We will talk about tips and ideas for nature journaling with kids. How to motivate them, what supplies work, and ideas for nature journaling activities for different ages of kids. Kate lives and teaches in Hawaii so I’m sure we will get a chance to talk about nature journaling in Hawaii as well.

Ever since I was a kid I have been obsessed with poison dart frogs. In this nature journaling adventure I get to observe them in the wild high in the rainforest canopy that is their home.

Drawing while hanging from a little rope in a crotch-crushing harness in 90f degree weather, 90% humidity and tropical bugs biting you.
