The bells shown in this image hang from the fireplace mantel. Each has a unique note, ranging from quite high (the wren and the pinecone) to deep and rich (the brass). It sometimes amuses me to walk down the line ringing them, bright music in a house where silence is the rule rather than the exception.
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.
