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.

Canada Post
Day 79: We often tease our friends north of the border about how long it takes mail to be delivered by dogsled or carrier-beaver. Last year, a package I mailed to Ontario took over a month to arrive. This year, a box coming the opposite direction took over two weeks to show up on my doorstep. It was packed with assorted goodies including hand-turned lace-making bobbins and shells formerly inhabited by an invasive species of snail (thoroughly cleaned). Spread out together, I thought they made a lovely warm-toned still life. Thank you, Di!
