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.

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.
