This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Proverbial Square Pegs
Day 95: You shouldn't try to fit a square peg into a round hole, and apparently it's no easier to drive a square nail into a log. These relics of a bygone era were my big find today while walking the Bud Blancher Trail. The log had been rolled into place to distinguish a private road from the trail where otherwise the two would have appeared to be one and the same. Several other logs were also used in creating the border, but this was the only one adorned by metalwork. I love finding old bits like this! Unfortunately, these will undoubtedly be prised out by antique hunters as soon as they're spotted. I prefer to do my "collecting" with the camera.
