FIELD GUIDE / THE MARGINS
Reading a meadow and its margins.
Look for layers
Notice how grasses, shrubs, and open ground meet without stepping off the path.
Watch the light
Morning, cloud, and late-day light can reveal different shapes in a landscape.
Listen before moving
Pause and hear what is nearby before choosing where to walk next.
Record the conditions
Write down weather and ground conditions so the note stays grounded in the moment.
Leave the scene intact
Do not collect plants, rocks, shells, or other natural objects.
