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.

Snap-Shots
Day 304: Last year, I accidentally bought some tall snapdragons instead of the shorter varieties I prefer. As Murphy's Law would have it, the tallest wintered over and are now providing me with spikes of lemon-yellow blooms. One solitary dark red survived, but it is lost among other plants. The pink ones shown here are new this year (pinker than they looked in the store), as are the red-and-yellows which I absolutely love. Snaps are a good way to add pops of colour to your garden, besides being just plain fun for those of us who never quite grew up.
