No, this is not the Winged Adventure's brig, nor has Morgan Corbye found herself on the wrong side of the bars in some colonial prison. This is a storeroom now, but it was once the jail at Longmire. It is in the basement of the Administration Building where I work, and until today, I didn't know it existed. I'd gone hunting for furnace ductwork and cobwebs or a broom closet, or some place equally forbidding and photographically irresistible. I did not expect to find a dungeon beneath my sunny workspace, faint light sifting into the cell. It was worth a trip back up the stairs to borrow a tripod. Oh, but the potential for a story lurks in these shadows, and I suspect that at some point in the not-too-distant future, a certain pirate captain may find herself temporarily housed in these lavish accommodations. Rumour has it that she's planning another raid...
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!
