While everyone else is stressing between thanksgiving and Christmas you are sitting on the beach in Costa Rica. Your nature journal is in your lap. Your watercolors are in your hand. The tropical sun is setting on the ocean in front of you. A piña colada sits loyally next to you in the sand. Button mangrove trees arch majestically over you, providing just the right amount of shade and visual accent.
It’s day three of the Nature Journal Beach Vacation and you are getting used to this rhythm. Your pages are filling up with learning, landscape paintings, and botanical sketches. New friendships are being formed with the select group of nature journalers on the trip. The beach-side cabins with their elegant thatched roofs are starting to feel like home. Your creativity is blossoming in this environment.
Does this sound like how you want to spend the second week of December? You can read more about it in my calendar here.
