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.

Crevasse!
Day 331: The Park has used this floor poster at several events now, and it always amuses me that many times, I'm able to spot the real mountaineers in a crowd because they tend to avoid getting too close to the edge out of habit. For those of us who have at some point in our lives stood on the lip of a crevasse, the very thought of it breaking away to send us plunging into the depths sends chills up our spines, moreso if we've had the experience. I'm among the latter, and although I never fell far, the sensation replays in nightmares all too frequently. But today I managed to convince myself that it was perfectly safe, and had a little fun before the Washington State Fair officially opened.
