Observations from imaginary nature walks
These notes imagine what a patient observer might record while walking through the seasons. Small notations in the margins of attention: what's blooming, who's singing, how the light falls.
The practice of field observation has a long history—from Gilbert White's Natural History of Selborne (1789) to modern nature journaling. The skill isn't rare knowledge but rare attention: seeing what's always there.
