As a Crow, of course I enjoy shiny things, sparkly things. So too do I love the bright lights of the holiday season whether white or colored. Following a long-established custom, I will rise even earlier than usual on Christmas morning and light a few candles in the darkness before turning on the tree. Then I will take up residence in my comfy chair, warmed by a fleece blanket and a cat or two, enjoying the twinkle of tiny electric novae as I await the dawn. At sunrise, gifts are opened, but not before, lest the magic of the pre-dawn hours be lost.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Feathers And Lights
