1. Yosemite Photography Project – Start my long term project to take photos from every spot listed in the book. (The Photographer’s Guide to Yosemite)
2. Visit one new state park. I didn’t realize how many parks I have not visited right in my own area. (My reference book:Day Hiker’s Guide to California’s State Parks)
3. Visit one new national park. I know it is worth the effort to achieve this goal so we have begun thinking and exploring how to visit a park this year.
4. Visit a bird refuge. I love learning about birds so much and this is something that our family can accomplish with a day trip.
5. Take one new hike from the guide book we purchased last year. (Best Hikes Near Sacramento)
6. Read ten nature-related books this year. Stay tuned for a separate post with the books I have chosen to read.
7. Continue my rock project.
8. Create at least one nature journal entry each month (participate in the Once a Month Journal Project).
9. Rewatch the National Parks series on Netflix.
This is my third year creating goals for our nature study and I think I am getting better at being realistic about listing things that are both meaningful and achievable. I will be updating my goals and sharing my victories every quarter instead of each month in 2015. Join me if you like and share a link to your goals in a comment so I can pop over and cheer you on.
Here’s to a great year!
