❤🎉

waa it good?

You forgot how you almost got bit in the thigh from a neighbor’s misadventure with the fishing pole!

Thank you Marley for these super helpful nature observing and nature journalling tips. I love your videos and learn so much from them, you, your guests. I especially appreciate how your tips are clear to understand with great explanation and also actual visual field experience. 🐝

Beautiful creatures i put them also in my hand!

Yes

Thanks for sharing Marley loved this soo relatable the heat itchy discomfort and your process I hope you better now . I have flowers from my cacti it's Easter Lilly Cacti flowering big pink flowers sooooo emotional everytime this happens 😊

No tail? Is this a wild animal or someone’s pet? It doesnt seem to be afraid of people.

A tiny friend

Haha the salt bae action it looks good😋

Adorable little beautiful creature

It looks so beautiful

Sooooo Cute ❤

Isn't the Amanita poisonous? Wash your hands very well, especially after touching the spores. Maybe that is why the millipede and centipede were dead?

Ig here we got a different species, they are huge but super easy to kill. Even if u miss them they will fall to the ground and have a hard time to get back up.

where the jump at

Ok now I do not have any excuses anymore...you did it in five... you did it with a ballpoint... eveyrthing that has blocked me from starting. TOTAL BEGINNER first attempt today in Belgium (Europe) Lets go!

those are the type of spiders that i like

Yes! I was curious about the journal she was using. Thank you for posting the link.❤😊

One of my goals this year is to get better at landscape sketching.

So, what is looking through a microscope or telescope? Direct or indirect observation? What is preparing slices, dying for microscopy and looking through the microscope afterwards? Direct or indirect observation? What is catching snowflakes on slides and looking for their prints, when they are melt? What is looking with my brain and my eyes at any nature object and looking with your eyes and brain? Do you think, you see nature the same way that I see? Which one is "correct", which one is objective? Or aren't any observations subjective at any point. I think, nature journaling is all about connecting with nature, relax, have a good time, healing and - most of all - loving nature. In my opinion, what you are asking for, is science and even there your defition of direct and indirect observation doesn't work, if you look closer.

lots of fun to participate later in replay. thanks for video.

on the purple flower=== what if you told us it IS NOT a flower?

are white dots camouflage? (on starfish)

good info for starters, I just need to get out there more.

I think a Nature Journal should be whatever works for an individual, the important thing is that we are all thinking about the importance of nature!!!!

That is a great thing to do to prepare for your trip!

Hi Marley, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this Nature Journal Show with Dion Dior and you. OMG! So inspirational and fun and informative. Thank you for doing an excellent job at interviewing Dion. I don't think either of you stopped smiling for the entire time! Like she said, I'm also very appreciative for this welcoming friendly community of nature jounalling, (no matter what your skill level is). Thank you again for all the time and effort and knowledge that you and others put forth. It means a lot to me.

+ Leached soil Thank you sir ❤...

I’m a pro 🤣 especially with the food part. You were preaching to me 😁 Thank you so much for sharing.

I found a shmol gorilla jumper today, I didnt want to let him go until he rolled off my hand 🥲

Procrastination is a learned skill!

❤❤❤❤❤it’s so ugly ❤❤😊😊😊😊😊🎉

Twee DO do dee dee dee… I think you just connected to my computer modem in 1998 😂

I've never thought about nature journaling, but this such a great idea!! I'm a natural procrastinator so this is great Off to a new hobby!

I'm watching this while procrastinating working on the nature journaling class I'm teaching next week.

Loved this! I confess, I am guilty of a few of these.

Oh, Marley, I'm still laughing!!! This was wonderful and sometimes totally true! Big hug!!!

Hi everyone! I’m gonna miss the premiere tonight. 😢

nice video...yes they rip off tourist everywhere..been going to c.r. since 2009 and finally bought a place close to la fortuna last year.. i no longer do the way overpriced stuff..do it on your own and enjoy it more...

I love jumping spiders ❤

ハエトリグモはとても可愛いですね！

Time to bring out the flamethrower

I agree with you Marley. Although most of my work about Nature is made at home, I consider that a study, or a draw to improve my drawing skills…I may draw that on my Nature Journal but it’s not something I have really lived, or seen in person… I would compare what you say with having an experience in real life and then write that on my journal, and reading other’s writing and then make a reflection about that on my journal. Both , direct experiences and work at home are lovely in different ways. ♥️ direct observation allows us to make deeper discoveries and have those yihaaaa! moments, and work from home allows us to work with no time stress, about that bird disappearing, so we can practice detail, and also give us invaluable info for that moment we find that we’ve “studied” in real life! Anyway, what I love most most is mixing them! I feel like Indiana Jones when observing something pour that on my journal and then go deep investigating and adding stuff! That’s way is perfect to me!

Awesome, I haven't watched in a while and it was nice to feel like I was sitting alongside you while you explained your process. (Without the physical pain and discomfort issues!)

I watched this last week, and felt i disagreed. But I've thought about it all week, and i think you're right. A good reminder to stop, observe & ponder. 🤔

Sorry for not getting to these responses sooner but trying to catch up now. Please watch the full video before commenting. I did not say you have to hike outside to nature journal I just want to make the distinction between direct observation and working from photos/videos that other people took. We live in a time where photos and videos online can be very misleading (perhaps they always have been). There is a big difference between drawing a tiger from a photo you found online and nature journaling a cabbage that you are dissecting in your kitchen.
