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!

Autumn Splendor
Day 7: Unlike the vibrant shades of red and orange which make New England famous for fall color, a good year in the Pacific Northwest sees a transition largely in the range of yellows and golds. For the most part, autumn is an almanac of browns: umber, ochre, tan, buff, sienna, khaki, coffee, mahogany and on through a thousand shades too subtle for the eye to name. That is not to say it is a dull season, because when the sun breaks through and the Mountain peers over the tops of burnished evergreens and sere pasturelands, the landscape is gilded with copper and shimmers where it is laid against a pale aqua sky.
