365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Reading Rhubarb
Day 345: Between weather and schedule, it's been hard for me to round up "blog shots" for the last several days, so today I went out for a walk at Park Headquarters and came home with absolutely nothing to show for my time and effort. Frustrated, I turned to the yard and discovered that one enormous rhubarb leaf had changed colour when none of the rest had. I captured a close-up, not intending it for a post, but then I recalled that years ago, a friend had pasted a city street map over one of my photos of a catalpa leaf, a trick which I'd found quite amusing. I wondered if I could find an appropriate map for the rhubarb, and while browsing topos for Eatonville and east to the Mountain, I was struck by the similarity in topography between the rhubarb and Lynch Creek. It took a while to figure out how to merge the two to best effect.
