Yes, I was out on the bike again today, the fifth and last day of sun in June if the forecast can be believed. In honor of dry weather, I'd left home intending to ride the Foothills Trail for a short thirty miler. Somehow, I wound up back on the Chehalis-Western again, and by the time my ride was over, I'd clocked just over FIFTY miles. I think what tipped the balance was the prospect of wildflowers. The Foothills Trail offers fewer varieties. There was also the birdwatching consideration. I tend to spot more interesting species on the Chehalis-Western, and today was no exception. Both the Scrub Jays and the Cedar Waxwings put in appearances, but the little stinkers were too quick for me, as they so often are.
365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

A Wildflower Day
