This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Lichen The Attitude
Day 82: More than any other lichens, Cladonias have attitude. I found this particularly opinionated one while prowling through snow and blowdown in search of Fringed Kidneys in an area where they are known to occur. Although I failed to find the Kidneys, my exploration was not entirely an anatomical bust. I also found Bloody Heart, although its core showed very little of the signature colouration which gives it its common name. Later in the day and in a different location, I also discovered a veritable forest of the lacy Platismatia herrei, but that's a subject for another post.
