Though this very beauty makes Mt. Rainier aloof and unapproachable, we may admire it from a distance. At the foot of timeless majesty, we are humbled and reminded of our brief tenure upon the Earth and the consequence of our careless footfalls. The glaciers are receding, and we may lose sights such as this forever.
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.

At the foot of timeless majesty, we are humbled and reminded of our brief tenure upon the Earth and the consequence of our careless footfalls.
