One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish , Blue Fish was running through my head as I was doodling. Dr. Suess and everyone listed in this little square have brought me joy, silly thoughts, unfathomable depths of knowledge, and laughter when it comes to all I know of fishes. Thank you guys!

Happy Midsummer from #sweden #midsommar #sketchbook #watercolor #fieldsketching #wildflower #daisy #gullviva #svenska #gladmidsommar

On vacation and #fieldsketching ~ nuthin’ better. I am on a quest to spend time outdoors listening to the cuckoo, enjoying the sunrise and employing all the techniques and technology I know to say “shoo-skeeters”. Smokey birch wood fire, 2 kinds of bugspray (not quite ready to break out the DEET), the new electronic thermocell lantern, the old fashioned green coils and a dog that will snap at any buzzing creature by my ankles. Sketch book is open to what happened to the last mosquito that disturbed my drawing…wish me luck. They aren’t big enuf that I can be carried off, so I have that going for me.

All the resources are ready so you can go on a free one hour nature journaling session with me underwater in #Antarctica 🤿 link in profile: Dive & Draw Underwater in Antarctica 🥰 originally recorded for @journalingwithnature

Today I did my own virtual dive & draw session | Last week I did a workshop with @journalingwithnature International Nature Journaling Week There are some amazing free recorded workshops! Visit @journalingwithnature for more details. On June 4, we went on a virtual diving and drawing quest to #Antarctica so I could share how nature journaling helps my mindset.🤿 link to recording in profile #sevenfacetsoffieldsketching #fathomitstudios #fieldsketching #naturejournal #naturejournaling #naturejournalingweek #internationalnaturejournalingweek #naturejournalingweek2021 #journalingwithnature #poetry #naturepoetry #naturejournalingweek💚 #naturejournals #naturejournalingwithkids

#REPOST from @journalingwithnature Day 7 – Mindset Matters⁣ Today’s theme for International Nature Journaling Week is Mindset Matters. All the nature journaling tools we have been exploring this week have been wonderful, but without the right mindset it is easy to get snagged, judge our efforts, or even give up entirely. With the right mindset we can let our nature journal be a place to explore, have fun, grow, engage, feel connected and tap into our joy! Today we are going to explore the idea of the fixed vs growth mindset, how to stay motivated and how to give feedback to ourselves and others that will help everyone to progress and grow. We are also going to explore how to connect mindfully with nature, for our own health and wellbeing.⁣ ⁣ There will be two live workshops today. The first will be with nature journal teacher, Melinda Nakagawa (@sparkinnature). Melinda’s workshop is called ‘Mindset Matters: Small shifts for ease and joy in nature journaling’. Join Melinda 7th June at 9 AM Pacific time. The second workshop is with me, Bethan Burton. The workshop I will be giving is called ‘Mindful nature journaling for connection and self-care’. We will tap into the present moment and let our bodies rest and relax while connecting with nature and our senses. Join me 7th June, 4 PM Pacific time (8th June, 9 AM Brisbane time).⁣ ⁣ Go to today’s page on the website to get all the details about the workshops as well as a whole lot of inspiration in the form of journal prompts, videos and website links: https://www.naturejournalingweek.com/prog.../mindset-matters.⁣ ⁣ ⁣I hope you are able to connect with your joy today 🌻🌿💚 ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #naturejournalingweek #naturejournalingweek2021 #naturejournalingweek💚 #internationalnaturejournalingweek #journalingwithnature #naturejournaling #naturejournal⁣ ⁣

Day 6 IT REMINDS ME OF . . . | @journalingwithnature Today's International Nature Journaling Week theme explores how our nature journals not only capture memories but help change the way we perceive the natural world. There are some amazing free workshops! Visit @journalingwithnature for more details. Field Sketching IS a Path of Discovery ~ focus on the process and know that your journals are your personal encyclopedias of life's explorations The workshop I did on June 4 definitely captured and shared my memories in a whole new way to bring the world of #Antarctica to others by creating a unique virtual dive and draw session.🤿 link in recording in profile #sevenfacetsoffieldsketching #fathomitstudios #fieldsketching #naturejournal #naturejournaling #naturejournalingweek #internationalnaturejournalingweek #naturejournalingweek2021 #journalingwithnature #poetry #naturepoetry #naturejournalingweek💚 #naturejournals #naturejournalingwithkids

#REPOST from @journalingwithnature Day 6 – It reminds me of…⁣ ⁣ Today’s theme for International Nature Journaling Week is “It Reminds Me Of…” John Muir Laws defines creativity as ‘the ability to make useful connections between seemingly unrelated things’ Today we will practice making connections between our observations in nature. Open your mind and allow these connections to take shape!⁣ ⁣ There will be two live workshops today. The first will be with INJW co-founder Jules Woolford (@drawnintonature), who will share ways to tell nature’s stories. Join Jules, 6th June at 10 AM Pacific time. The second workshop is with John Muir Laws making creative connections with the prompt “It reminds me of…”. Join Jack 6th June, 4 PM Pacific time.⁣ ⁣ Go to today’s page on the website to get all the details about the workshops as well as a whole lot of inspiration in the form of journal prompts, videos and website links: www.naturejournalingweek.com/pro.../it-reminds-me-of.⁣ ⁣ Does your journal help you capture memories of your time in nature?⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #naturejournalingweek #naturejournalingweek2021 #naturejournalingweek💚 #internationalnaturejournalingweek #journalingwithnature #naturejournaling #naturejournal

#REPOST FROM @journalingwithnature Day 5 – I Wonder…⁣ ⁣ Today’s theme for International Nature Journaling Week is “I Wonder…” As nature journalers, we can let ourselves dive deeply into wonders and mysteries in the natural world. This process begins with questioning what we experience. Find the questions behind the questions until they carry you down the rabbit-hole of discovery!⁣ ⁣ There will be two live workshops today. The first will be an exciting exploration of science and sealife with marine biologist Elizabeth Mills (@marinemumbles). Join Elizabeth live on YouTube, 5th June at 10 AM Pacific time. The second workshop is with nature journal teacher, Marley Peifer (@marleypeifer) with a session called “Unlock the power of your curiosity in your nature journal”. Marley’s workshop will be 5th June, 4 PM Pacific time. ⁣ ⁣ We also have a very special pre-recorded workshop by Amy Kirkbright (@aamydiana). Amy's workshop is called "When chronic illness, disability and other barriers are a block: For the fighters and supporters". This is a very heart-felt, open and sensitive exploration of the barriers some people face and what that means for our ability to connect with nature during difficult times. It is our hope that Amy's workshop will be the beginning of an open and supportive discussion about disability and mental health and how we can offer each other more understanding. I am deeply grateful to Amy for her generous gift of this workshop. ⁣ ⁣ Go to today’s page on the website to get all the details about the workshops as well as a whole lot of inspiration in the form of journal prompts, videos and website links: www.naturejournalingweek.com/program-2021/i-wonder.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #naturejournalingweek #naturejournalingweek2021 #naturejournalingweek💚 #internationalnaturejournalingweek #journalingwithnature #naturejournaling #naturejournal⁣
