Sunday is when the Nature Journaling course begins. As often as I can, I'll make an entry daily and share them in the course. I'll put a few sample pages of my old nature journal in there for an example. This is a free one to join! Participants are encouraged to share theirs in the Share Your Work category here in the Community tab.

I see woodpecker holes all the time, but not often low enough for me to get a good look at them, lol. Here's two I noticed yesterday. I made a blog post just now about the random sorts of things I notice when I'm outdoors: https://www.wildozark.com/woodpecker-holes-mushrooms/

I'm delighted to have you in our community, Jonny and I hope you enjoy it here. They do photography but also likes coding and is interested in reconnecting with nature. Jonny, when you get a chance, tell us a little more about yourself if you like 😀

This rock was different than the first rock. It was harder and crunchier in the mortar. I’m curious what it’ll come out to be on paper but it looks like a nice gold crushed and the water is really golden yellow. Almost like LSU gold. Lol. 💜💛

I am washing two pigments right now. This is #1 Red rock. I maybe should have used an alum solution you mentioned in the video. I started it on Saturday and waited until yesterday (Wednesday) to pour off the water. I decided the water was clear enough or wasn’t going to get much clearer. I think it will still come out fine. The third picture was to show the interesting way it settled in one jar. I think I could have poured off more water so I know it needs to settle a lot. You can see the #2 Yellow in the background. It is settling, you can see the layers. I’m not going to rush it but I’m wondering how clear the water should get. How do you make the alum solution?
