Focus Point: Select a direction and note it down (N, S, E, W). Now frame a portion of the sky in that direction. Sketch it and then note the wind speed and direction.

Reflection
Thoreau went to the woods by Walden Pond to learn about nature and himself. He observed nature and reflected on what it had to teach him about life and his place in the universe.
Read the following passage from Walden, Thoreau's account of his two years in the woods, and reflect upon Thoreau's experiences as a nature journaler and your own.
"We can never have enough of nature. We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic features, the sea-coast with its wrecks, the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees, the thunder-cloud, and the rain which lasts three weeks and produces freshets" (Thoreau).
