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.

Accidental Art
Day 114: You can thank a glitch in PaintShop Pro for the unusual demi-frame surrounding Mr. Steller here, a "happy accident," as it were, and one which I probably couldn't repeat if I tried a hundred times. I had made an oval capture and inverted it with the intention of flood-filling the area outside the oval, but PSP took a notion to interpret promotion of the selection to layer to mean that I wanted the new layer to terminate at the branches. It's not the only foible the program has ever exhibited, but it's the first one which ever produced something I felt was artful. As for Mr. Steller, he's getting snowed on today and I am again stuck in the house, wishing I was somewhere else.
