Product Description
No one could describe NATURE JOURNAL as a blank book. Clare Walker Leslie has transformed what could have been an ordinary diary into something truly unique. The text and illustrations offer just the right amount of inspiration and guidance to help the journal-keeper begin and succeed at making this book his or her own. First Clare explains to the budding journal-keeper how to get started and suggests some possible formats to follow. She even includes a few sample pages from her own journal as inspiration. Then come the journal pages themselves. The left-hand page has ghosted-back lines for those who prefer a sense of structure. The right-hand pages are left blank for sketching or writing. Short, inspirational quotes and exercises to help guide the journaling process are scattered among the pages. At the back of the journal is Clare's mini-field guide, packed with essential information on how to recognize (and draw!) basic families of birds, insects, and trees, thus sparing the journal-keeper the trouble of lugging multiple field guides into the wild. An elastic band keeps paper from flapping while you're writing, holds specimens, and acts as a bookmark. Drop it in the mud. Get trail mix stuck between the pages. This journal can take it! Printed on recycled, acid-free paper with a lay-flat binding.

If you have ever read one of Clare Walker Leslie's books before, then it won't surprise you that this is a Journal that invites you to go out into nature daily, but gives you ways to make your journal special and your own personal work of art. She shows you the basics of how to draw birds, flowers, trees, etc. to make your time in the outdoors more fun. If you follow her ideas, you will find that you will get down your old journals for years to come and look at them. They will all bring back fond as well as bad memories. You will find yourself putting them all down.
 Awesome companion to "keeping a nature journal" March 27, 2006

If you have the original book "Keeping a Nature Journal" then you will find this journal to be awesome. It is for using what you learned in book 1 to make your own recordings. Beautifully bound. Very nice item. Of course it is blank...it is a journal.

The editorial of this book is inadequate. It should say in bold: "This book has LOTS of blank pages for you to use."
If you are looking for a book on HOW to journal this is *NOT* the product you want. This book is just as it says:
A journal (i.e. lots of BLANK pages for $11+ dollars!)
If you are wanting a book on how to journal buy her other book... "Keeping a Nature Journal: Discover a Whole New Way of Seeing the World Around You"
