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!

Peltigera Paradise
Day 92: I'm sure a few of my readers have been wondering if I'd lost interest in lichens, but no, the reason I haven't posted any photographs of them is that they were rather under par in 2013. Our rainfall for the year was within the average range, but perhaps the few dry spells we had stretched on a bit too long. Even after the autumn rains had begun, they still looked dry and withered. But you can't keep a good lichen down, as this specimen of Peltigera leucophlebia (Ruffled Freckled Pelt) attests.
