Last year here in Cedar Key, I attended a class on keeping an illustrated journal with local artist Margaret Herrick. .... no, actually the class was at Fanning Springs and I wrote about it here. Last Friday, I joined her and several other journal keepers on their monthly Journey Daybook adventure at Rainbow Springs State Park.
This is my journal page from the day.... the heron is a photo from a brochure, and the dragon fly is the stamp that they put on your hand when you pay your admission.
Journey, contemplation, being present, and working alone are the process of Journey Daybook.
The Journey Daybook site is here and Margaret's beautiful work is here. Both sites are very inspiring and well worth a look.

Cedar Key seems to be a lovely place l...i have always wanted to make quick watercolors while i travel ...so much more vivid than photographs ...
The journal idea is really nice :)
Carole! Small world! I know Peggy, she's part of our journal-keepers group... I'll see her in June when our group gathers for the opening of our nature journal show at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History...

Sethu and Seema, I hope you will be encouraged to keep a journal.
Sandy, its always great to discover another journal keeper isn't it.
