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.

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.
