365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Eight-Spotted Skimmer, Libellula Forensis
Day 301: A few days ago, I noticed an Eight-Spotted Skimmer perched on the tip of a stake in my garden. "Time to take a trip to Mineral," I said to myself. The public fishing area at Mineral Lake is one of the best spots around for observing this species, so rather than trying to chase down the specimen flitting nervously about my yard, I grasped the easier solution: I drove up to the lake where I found a dozen or so in the shrubbery at the water's edge. It's always nice when things go according to plan!
