Nature Journaling changed my life. I also got down the rabbit hole of reading a lot of nature writing. I started enjoying books by Tristan Gooley and (low key) live through him because I'm trapped in a city! Salamanders are really cool. In Romania as a kid I was told that if I let a Salamander walk across my wrist I'll be very good at sewing when I grow up! Just a fun little tidbit of Eastern European folklore! Anyway, beautiful video hope your AI research is going well.

I've been wanting to set up a nature journal for a while now. I have severe anxiety that's likely morphed into agoraphobia, but I'm an outdoors kid at heart and am dying to get back out there. I'm particularly keen on mycology and ornithology, and a nature journal would be absolutely fantastic to help me learn to identify mushrooms. It's a shame we don't have much in the way of herping in Ireland; I used to spend hours catching Garter snakes when I lived in Canada. Also, there's no such thing as bad art imo - seeing your drawings made me happy, and want to try this sometime with my young nieces. Good days! 🍄🐍

Nice video. I've been trying to get better about being a little more loose with journals and such, as opposed to being tied into a specific digital system (digital doesn't work well for me... and I have to remind myself of that sometimes), or into specific systems like the Zettelkasten system that is pretty popular. One approach I've determined to try is using more 1/2 letter sized loose leaf sheets of printer paper. There is a thing called an Everbook that uses that idea, and it's great for certain things. Then I'll file those into 3 ring binders. The benefit is that I can then rearrange the sheets to better suit my needs, rather than having them bound out of order. I wanted to do a binder system for knowledge years ago... then got sucked into all those systems by the various productivity gurus... Also, didn't know you were in my neck of the woods. It always interesting to find folks that are in the general Chicago suburbs. 🐢

What a great idea! As a kid I was so interested in nature, I still have many encyclopedias and kids' guides to nature. Down the road I've become much more interested in the abstract world, literature and philosophy (I found philosophy appealing as a kid too, but then it was just one of many possible (to pursue down the road) interests). But you've reminded me that although I may not be interested in biology so much now (or like, at all, almost 😅😂) I love observing nature. Especially birds, birds are so fun. And I love parks and forests, because I love trees so much (I know it sounds like such a zoomer thing to say. But I think that all human beings love nature, so it may sound stupid to say "oh, I love trees and forest so much!". Anyway xd) My biological interests might have depleted, but it'd be cool to get again into drawing trees, and maybe birds too. They're hard to draw tho. I'm not sure if I have motivation 😂 Anyway, thanks Parker, for another great inspiration! 😊

🐢 Good stuff! Nature Journaling has blown up recently, like over covid, especially with the “record how you’re feeling” portion. But as a naturalist, I see nature journals extending as far back as cave paintings! That is, if you take nature journaling to be a record of one’s experience in/with nature, as I do. If you are feeling inspired, it would be awesome for you to cover a “history of nature journaling” video! Think of it as a history of recorded natural philosophy 😉 There are rich records and excellent pioneers (in several senses) to draw from. As for the drawings, they are only one of at least three languages used to describe and record nature. Use of numbers to add precision and written words to reveal the unseen can transform inaccurate, quick sketches (sometimes all you have time for in the field) into irreplaceable diagrams; nuggets of truth that pry beyond initial glances. As you mentioned, the use of metadata, like the date, time, weather conditions, location and habitat become useful for getting to know our natural neighbors. These metadata also allow your journal entry to be scientifically useful, if shared with others, in helping understand our current and changing ecology, essential for the protection of those we hold dear. I’d love to chat more! I’m a budding non-formal environmental educator, and recently I’ve had a focus on nature observation and field note-taking (nature journaling). Thanks for this video, and I can’t wait to dig into your channel(s) to see how they can help my study of nature observation. ‘Til next time, Stay Sustainable! -Hew L Helms

Food is (often beautiful) nature! Record before you eat! If you have any houseplants or pets, those are great living subjects of nature observation! Then there is always videos (even live-streams) of trail cameras. Nature documentaries are another option to practice nature observation, and these are fun because you can study things that are no longer with us or impossible to get to, like dinosaurs and the deep ocean trenches. Museums and zoos are classic locations for natural history studies. Have fun, get creative with it, and stay safe!
