June 6, 2015: Nature Journal Writing Workshop at Indian Ford Meadow Preserve
Hike and Writing Workshop sponsored by the Deschutes Land Trust:
The best place to write about nature is outdoors, in nature. Please join writer, Katie Eberhart, and birder, Carol Wall, for a morning of walking, learning about birds and bird habitat, and writing at Indian Ford Meadow Preserve. We should see hummingbirds and pygmy nuthatches, and other summer-resident birds, learn about the birds’ habitat needs—from forest to stream, and discuss strategies for translating a sense of nature onto the page.
The walking at Indian Ford Meadow is easy and the distance will be less than a mile.

The best place to write about nature is outdoors, in nature. If you’re in central Oregon, please join me and botanist, David Miller, for three hours walking and writing at Whychus Canyon Preserve.

The Palouse near Rosalia, Washington
What is it like to travel through the Palouse in far-eastern Washington state? In late summer the wheat-growing landscape has a particular grand tableau ambiance.
The Word Is Field, from my Palouse collection, appeared 5/6/2014 as the featured poem on The Daily Dose of Lit blog.
