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.

A Shortage Of Snow
Day 136: I'd like to dedicate this photo to my friends on the East Coast who may not see green until August. While record snow accumulations are plaguing them, the Pacific Northwest and notably Mount Rainier have the opposite problem: we're short on the white stuff. Paradise has a mere 60 inches on the ground, there's none at Longmire, and from what I could see from the Westside Road, it's just patchy at Indian Henrys. It's not warm temperatures alone. Precipitation has been minimal. It will be interesting to see how low snowpack will affect the wildflower season.
