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.

This Is Nuts!
Day 100: I've done over two dozen pages in the "Enchanted Forest" colouring book I was given by a friend, and when I came to this particular page, I expected it to be rather boring when compared to trees and flowers and hidden critters. I was in for a pleasant surprise. As I began the first acorn, I realized that simply filling in the spaces with colour was uninspired, so I decided to try shading. My first attempt was less than stellar, but with each subsequent nut, I felt I was improving. I completed each one individually to avoid repetition. Now I'd have to say that this has been one of my favourite pages, and I still have the leaves to finish!
