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.

Standing On The Corner
Day 148: The Lady in Red stood on the corner, her fine figure the only advertisement she needed to announce her availability. Well-appointed despite her age, she had served the boys of Timbertown for more than half a century, ready to answer to their needs at any hour of the day or night. They gave her respect, those stalwart lads who paid her court, because she never failed to respond to their demands, at her best when under pressure. Yes, when the boys of Timbertown got all hot and bothered, they always turned to the Lady in Red, knowing they could find her standing casually on her corner, blushing with the anticipation of fresh excitement.
