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.

Zygo Pollen Nebula
Day 29: While examining grains of Zygocactus pollen under the microscope today, I was startled by the sudden rupture of one and subsequent expulsion of thousands of microspores in a nebulous cloud. I was immediately struck by the similarity of the microscopic world to that of the macroscopic universe and couldn't resist converting one to the other digitally. The more I think about this, the more convinced I am that there are substantial relativistic overtones. After all, the TARDIS is bigger on the inside than on the outside.
