We're hardwired to look for patterns, repetition and rhythms. This is why the firsts enchant us – the first early spring flowers, the first snow in fall/winter, the migration of birds. The patterns in nature give us something to hang onto. Our own lives are also infused with rhythms and patterns - from our routines and daily activities to traditions and holidays we celebrate.

Paying attention to the rhythms of our lives as intertwined with nature satisfies a deep-rooted hunger and provides comfort that cannot be found elsewhere. The more we pay attention, the more we see that the extra ordinary really is the extraordinary.

Modern Field Journaling simply records it all.

Yellowstone Travel Journal – Part 2

Yellowstone Travel Journal – Part 2

And the tour through my travel journal for Yellowstone continues…  I’ve added in a few of the 7 Gypsies Postale  Index Cards and decided to add in some Yellowstone Note cards I have that are by artist Linda Lillegraven at Big Horn Galleries. I love the idea of looking specifically for artist works in card format to add in to a travel journal.  To make them work, I punched the holes… Read more...

Yellowstone Travel Journal – Part One

I posted a bit about the travel album I’m creating for all of my planned trips to Yellowstone this year. It’s coming together well – the inspiration gleaned from Ali Edwards’ online class, Scrapbook on the Road, helped immensely.

Extinction Burst

15 May 2012 Across the road I hear the ruckus made by the juvenile Clark’s Nutcrackers (aka Camp Robbers). The adults have been bringing them to various feeding stations in the area for a couple of weeks now. The adults are obviously good parents and have taken pains to show the kids how to live. For a few days at least they’ve been seen looking pathetic when an adult pays attention, yet… Read more...

Friday Phenology 11 May 2012

Friday Phenology 11 May 2012

Ok, well, yes – it is Saturday. Life just got in the way yesterday, but without further adieu, here’s the phenology seen this last week: The White-Breasted Nuthatches are still feeding the babies and still competing with me to be the first to get to the moths in the morning. The pace of feeding has picked up considerably this week. I can hear at least one baby in there, and possibly more. We… Read more...

This year I have quite a few Yellowstone trips planned, some with Mike, some on my own, and a few friends have expressed an interest in joining me on a trip or two. I purchased and was completely inspired by Ali Edwards’ Scrapbook on the Road class – and am thoroughly liking how this Field Journal is coming together: Base Binder & Notepaper to be for sale later on this month!
