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.

Strange Structure Of Sarracenia
Day 266 (bonus post): I took this photo about an hour ago with Sarracenia sitting on a piece of white cardstock on my kitchen floor and the tripod standing atop the table in order to show how the petals are separating from the interior. I prefer doing zoom shots to shooting macro, so the distance here was about seven feet with a zoom factor of 44x. The width of the flower is about 2.25". It's difficult to give a length because the petals still fold inward.
