iNaturalist Global GeoARTBlitz 2026

I happened to be on a road trip (Jul 23-28) several days during the iNaturalist Global GeoARTBlitz, July 18-26; I made time for nature observation (photos and drawing).  

This turned into a bigger project (timewise) than I originally imagined (still working a few pages).

A goal with this project was to lean in to nature ART, but to also explore the SCIENCE aspect of Nature Journaling, as well as a TRAVEL JOURNAL--including at least one page per day/location visited. Other goals: try to use different styles, art mediums, papers, various ways to approach page layouts, incorporate MAPS, and mostly to have a lot of FUN...

PLANS: a few pages, add an index... and create a video flip-thru of the roadtrip/iNat ARTBlitz project...




















Additional NJ pages in-work: 
Morro Bay: Morro Rock, White Crowned Sparrow, Black Birds, Otters, Seals, ...
