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.

Now And Then
Day 348 (bonus post): While working with the revegetation crew today, I kept thinking about my grandfather's photos from the Sunrise area of Mount Rainier National Park, specifically one taken in the general area where we were planting. Although my memory misplaced the loop road and its myriad cars to a somewhat higher terrace, you can identify the location by comparing the ridgelines in these two images. I believe my grandfather's photo shows the old Sunrise Campground as it was in 1932, shot from a higher vantage point. The upper photo was taken today just before we began planting.
